Concert, Napa
I am trying to think what the work week was like, but it is not coming very well. I suppose that means that everything went as normal, a pretty plain week working with the guys. Things are moving ahead with One Warm Coat and besides that just a lot of odd jobs.
I had the wonderful opportunity of attending a benefit concert (for Sr. Marion and the Women's Visitation Center) on Friday night out in Piedmont. I went with my roommate Carol, Steve, Tyrone and his date Kathy. We listened to a band that played a lot of original christian music in many different styles. I enjoyed the gospel, soulful music and the best part of performance was that we got to sing along with quite a few of the pieces. Seeing as I enjoy singing, this was right up my alley. It was good to spend the night with my co-workers and roommate just chilling.
On Saturday we went up to Napa to do a little wine tasting tour. It was a great trip, beautiful scenery. I am not saying anything new here. The first place we stopped was Viansa, a newer little winery that does not distribute its wines. I think that it brought us all into the Napa spirit. Another highlight of the trip was visiting Franics Ford Coppolla's winery. What a magnificent place! I felt as though I were in a caste, there were fountains outside, and the hills with the grapes growing in rows were a sight to see. It was nice to get away from the city for a bit, although at times I found myself feeling a little guilty being in such a beautiful, wealthy area while the guys are sleeping under the bridge. I guess I should be thankful for what I have and use my gifts to compliment those of others.
