Initially, the number caught my attention. I have always been a fan of the family of 3. Who, what, when, where, why- I do not know. I just have always been drawn to the power of three. Naturally, I recommended we give it a shot.
We wanted to exercise our palate to eventually have the ability to identify various fruits, oaks and whatnot before we peek at the ingredients. Our inexperienced palate indicated there was a distinct grapefruitish tone with a clean and crisp aftertaste. However, if you were to swish it about to allow the flavor to cover all areas of the palate, it has a bitter aftertaste. So, it is best for you to keep it simple and clean... just drink it.
(According to the label, it has a lemon and orange citrus mix with a crisp clean finish that was harvested just north of Napa- not too shabby for a novice like us!)
8 out of 10 babies are already posted on the internet, one way or the other. What does it mean for them when they become older? Would their sense of boundaries be altered or remain the same?
One poignant moment that made me feel sorry for the future generation was when someone posted an unforgiving picture of a 9 year old boy who underwent a heart bypass surgery. This poor unconscious thing was lying, completely exposed, in a pair of diapers with all kinds of tubes running through him. I am pleased to tell you that he survived and is doing well.
Now, when you are young, you do not give a shit whether your life was in jeopardy or not. What was more important that your parents did not embarrass you, especially in public. Yet, his pictures were posted on Facebook for everyone to view. We shudder to think what his thoughts would be when his girlfriend discovers it 10 years down the road, when he is still a teenager.
Back in the 80's, 128k was considered as ample amount of memory space for your computer. Now, we use 2 GB (gigabytes) which is equivalent to running a marathon as opposed to running three miles back in the heyday. Needless to say, information is absolutely rampant beyond anyone's wildest imagination when internet was first concieved.
It only shows that we have absolutely no idea what the future holds for us and our future generation. It is very possible that 20 years from now, we could be enjoying our glass of wine and all of a sudden, we received an electronic notice that our nurse had injected an extra dose of insulin to our body due to it automatically sending alarm signal to the hospital that it was dangerously low on insulin and needed immediate attention. Thanks to the extra dose of insulin, we could go back to enjoying our wine, uninterrupted.
With technology being so advanced, everyone would have the opportunity to be saved, when they least expect it. We would live to be an unforsakeable age of 150 years and reside in a tiny dwelling that would make an average NYC apartment deemed to be a mansion. Natural causes of death such as war, random acts of god and lack of medical knowledge contirubuted to population control. Since we've overcame those natural methods of population control, what is there to well, control the population?
All of these life and death discussions made us revert back to our innocent and pure years of youth where one would furiously peddle with their important velcro shoes against their Big Wheel (completed with streamers, no less) made you the most powerful being on earth.
One of the distinct memories we recalled were the books that we read. Two came to mind, Dr. Seuss and Calvin and Hobbes. It is interesting to note that the two highly regarded children authors' books consisted of veiled curses and hallucinated filled stories. Then again, their simple choice of words were packed with powerful life lessons that would carry us for years to come. We look forward to what it brings when reading it from an adult's perspective.
Within one bottle of wine, Line 39, we managed to cover the past, present and the future. Hmm... to come to think of it... we covered three topics... Never underestimate the power of three...
