I was reading this old article by Evan Davis about “How to choose wine“. I thought it was an interesting article and decided to share.

I’ve been reading Scott Adams ‘The Dilbert Blog‘ recently. He’s a great writer and observer. I’ve never been too keen on his Dilbert comic strips, but his writing on his blog is so entertaining… and often right on the money!

Ocean’s Eleven
I watched the original Ocean’s Eleven with Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, et al, on Sunday. It was on the TV so I thought, why not?
What a terrible film it is! I really don’t like old films, even those that are classed as “classics”. I understand that film probably wouldn’t be where it is now without these old films, but on the whole the acting is terrible.
In this film, the acting is bad, the story is bad, the script is bad…

Bad Man
Sometimes I wonder if I’m a bad Brother, Son, and friend. Not because I’m a nasty person, not because I’ve ever done anything to be ashamed of, but because I don’t pickup the phone. I love talking, and I love talking to my family, I’m just not very good at long distance conversation instigation. This isn’t limited to my parents and brothers. I’m not very good at calling friends either. And if I’m away from home, I’m not quick to call Victoria and the kids. It’s just the way I am.
I think about my parents every day. It’s hard not to think about your parents when you have children. In the good times and the bad times, I wonder just what my parents would have done in that situation. When my children are playing or indeed fighting, I think about the same times I would have had with my brothers. When my brain drops down into idle, I generally find myself thinking about my family.
Just this weekend I was thinking about my elder brother and his family, thinking that I should give him a call, thinking that he calls me far more than I ever call him and that it’s about time that I ring him and find out, “How’s things? How are you? What are you up to?” etc…
but instead, here I am Monday morning thinking about the fact that I didn’t call…. … I promise myself I will call tonight…
