Still hanging in sunny Thousand Oaks and trying to remove myself from this very comfortable bed after a full day that started with an Irish Cream coffee into a workout at 24hr fitness and continued with plenty of very good and tasty drinks and food - Happy Hour All Day!!!
A hang with Ray is always a great high-end party experience. When I arrived Thursday we had lasagna (thanks Bret!) for dinner along with the best wines I've ever tasted. I am getting an education in wines - another friend Brad stopped by for the blind tasting last night. I probably have about 40 bottles of wine at home and do enjoy a good bottle, but Ray & Brad are on another level - they do crazy Napa tastings and are great people to hang with if you can hang! I can taste some differences and do like the interactions of good wine and food - and during my first blind tasting with them we seemed to all agree that Bogle had the flava of the evening!
After 'Ray's Bloody-Mary' lunch onto some pre dinner Beam & Cokes (PKS Wkend 2010) then the Santa Barbara sirloin - grilled with onions and portabella mushrooms and let's not forget the Polish Perogies & asparagus - while snacking shrimp, cheese & crackers discussing the blind tasting. All the delicious food, partying & wine were AMAZING - should be against the law to consume that much goodness all at once :-p
All this great food & drink with the 75th NFL Draft going on in the background on the 58" plasma and somehow Brad threw out some stat that had us all ripping out a quick 40+ pushups...yeah all this fun hangin and partying in the perfect sunny weather and no beer all day :D
Did I mention Ray is a party master? We have history that goes back and connects NY to FLA to CA and plenty of great musical and interesting experiences....and today is recovery day - sit around in the sun at the deck bar, take pictures of flowers and get a little "Ray-Squonk Jam" with the six-string and his Roland kit :D
