Napa Valley Wine Train
Here in Sacramento we have the unique experience of not only being a culture center ourselves: being the home of the State Capitol of California, Old Sacramento, a great zoo, art galleries, museums, the Sacramento Kings, the Rivercats, and great people. We are also surrounded by lots of unique experiences that are just a short drive away. One of those short drives could take you to Napa to check out the Wine Train. Continue Reading »

If you’re looking for something with an intriguing plot that isn’t predictable then this not the film to see. ‘The Proposal’ is a slice of classic boy-meets-girl. Like other films of this genre, it doesn’t always attempt to make sense of the occasional gap in the plot, nor does it trouble itself with tying up all its loose ends - but there is more than enough here to satisfy. There is the sight of Ryan Reynolds almost naked, Sandra Bullock doing what she does best, romantic comedy, (and by the way guys, she has a couple of scenes “almost” in the buff), and then there’s Betty White who plays “Grammy” the 90 year old grandmother that we all wish we could call our own.

Email from Obama
I’m feeling important again today. You guessed it; I got another personal email from Barak Obama. It’s a pretty fancy message too with a video right in the middle; they must have a cracker jack tech team at the white house. No invites to a cabinet meeting yet, but I’m on the email list. I also got a notice that I won the Canadian Lottery, an offer for a free cell phone, and a message from a widow in Africa that needs my help getting her money out of the country and away from all the corrupt people trying to cheat her out of her fortune, it’s so bad she has offered me half her money if I will just help her. I’ll deal with those other opportunities later, but first I need to tell you what the President wanted in his email. Probably the easiest way to do that is just to share it with you, (notice it starts “Dear Friend”, I must be important to be friends with the president) so here it is: Continue Reading »
