I don't care about the Lakers

What does this have to do with wine, you might ask? Everything, of course!

Today, a good friend who happens to be trucking across the country will be rolling into town today. Omar also happens to be a drummer in my band, The Barnburners of Los Angeles (look us up on iTUNES and myspace). When he arrives, we're going to visit for a bit then head out to the garage-studio to jam - me on guitar and vocals, Omar on drums, and maybe my daughter Jamie on vocals as well. It's really a great way to spend the afternoon....

As you can guess, the Laker game will be happening at the same time... a game 7... whoopee do! I don't care. It's irrelevant.

Instead, we're going to make really loud rock'n roll. When we're done, we're going to fire up the barbecue and grill some burgers with sea salt and cheddar... maybe some bacon... and open up a bottle of Four Vines Zinfandel. When that is done, we'll open another bottle yet to be determined.

And we will not care what the Lakers did.
