Of the four executive members, three of us don&#8217;t get paid for keeping the center up and running, so we make plans once a year to treat ourselves to a night\/day out.  Last year we went to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.magiccastle.com\/\">Magic Castle<\/a> where we had a blast, and this year we rented a limo and took a trip to Temecula for some wine tasting.  <\/p>\n<p>Now I have always been under the impression that California had good wine, and that Temecula would be sort of the low end of the spectrum.  I must say I was very pleasantly surprised.  I had some wonderful wines, and visited a few vineyards I would highly recommend.  The one that sticks out most in my head is <a href=\"http:\/\/www.stuartcellars.com\/\">Stuart Cellars<\/a>.  They don&#8217;t mass produce their wine, and they only sell their wine at the winery, but I was blown away by their wines.  I might be new to the whole wine lifestyle, but I can already tell the difference between an $8 bottle of wine and a $18 bottle of wine.  The wine I had from Stuart Cellars was an even bigger improvement.  I even joined their wine club, which means I will get bottles delivered directly to me.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond the wine tasting not a lot more has been going on.  The one other thing worth mentioning is that I put a <a href=\"http:\/\/bradbarnett.net\/mustangs\/wallpaper\/05\/0917-8.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox[35]\">new car<\/a> on order.  I am so excited, but it will take another two months before my new baby is delievered to me.  I can hardly wait&#8230;. It is just as well, it will be well into March before I will be able to afford the car, but after hearing how long the special order process was, I decided to go ahead and get mine started..<\/p>\n<p>Yay excitement!  The only question now is to go with the racing stripes or ditch them.  I have ordered them all ready, but they are aftermarket installed at the dealer, so I can back out at any time.  One part of me drools over them, the other more pratical wonders how many cops per week will &#8216;notice&#8217; my car.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/images\/BlueGTwStripes.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last weekend was our annual executive meeting for the center.
