Most of my day (besides working) is spent dealing with countless emails, requests, voice mails, paperwork, etc. Sometimes you come across a brief note or a forwarded thought from a friend that makes sense to include in my ramblings on KC Wine Buzz:
"If you had purchased $1,000 of shares in Delta Airlines one year ago, you will have $49.00 today. If you had purchased $1,000 of shares in AIG one year ago, you will have $33.00 today. If you had purchased $1,000 of shares in Lehman Brothers one year ago, you will have $0.00 today. But, if you had purchased $1,000 worth of beer one year ago, drank all the beer, then turned in the aluminum cans for recycling refund, you will have received $214.00. Based on the above, the best current investment plan is to drink heavily & recycle. It is called the 401-Keg.
A recent study found that the average American walks about 900 miles a year. Another study found that Americans drink, on average, 22 gallons of alcohol a year. That means that, on average, Americans get about 41 miles to the gallon!
Makes you proud to be an American!"
From the mother-in-law of a friend of my wife (I will include her name once I get permission)
In these troubling times we offer you beer and wine to make your life better (Remember: people drink in good times but they drink more in bad times). Have a great weekend and, if you are going to imbibe, please do it safely and with a designated driver!
BTW, stay tuned to this blog for exciting news on a special wine tasting cruise to Alaska with someone you know!
Cheers,
Michael
