I' ll Drink to That!

Kevin and I went on a wine tasting tour with the local Lion's club this past Saturday (he's now a member). They chartered a bus and we went to 5 different wineries in Paso Robles. I have never really cared much for wine, but we learned that there are some that we both really liked. I discovered the sweeter type dessert wines are my favorites and that the more you let a wine sit and "breathe" the better the flavor gets. We had a great time with a lot of great people! You can definitely sign us up for the next trip. I am adding some of my favorites to my Christmas wish list.

Tobin James -- Charisma
Meridian -- Limited Release * Cabernet Sauvignon Blanc
Eberle -- Muscat Canelli

Wow, 2 posts in one week? Unemployment is really working out for you! I've always wanted to go wine tasting, but keep getting knocked up. Someday...you'll have to take me.

WHO KNEW ?

Well, you can't always trust what you see on television. I'm sure you've seen COPS on television and see them haul people off to jail for fighting and physical assault / battery. Well, it doesn't really work that way. The attacked person has to actually press charges, even if there is visual evidence such as a torn shirt, bruising to the arm, etc. They can only haul in the agressor if it is a domestic dispute or when the parties involved live under the same roof. So, needless to say, some of us were very upset to find out that there was nothing the cop was going to do other than give a "stern" warning. Obviously the agressor has also watched COPS, because when the officer began to question her regarding the incident, she denied everything and then claimed to be a diabetic having a hypoglycemic episode. You would expect that since this happened at work the employer would be responsible to take some kind of action as well. Anyways, if you have a co-worker that b...

UOP - Organizational SWOT Analysis: A Scholarly Project

Organizational SWOT Analysis Developed in the late 1960s, the SWOT analysis, representing strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats, has be used to evaluate a project or business. This evaluation can then be used in the development of a decision-making plan of action based on the findings in each area. The SWOT matrix is broken down into positive and negative characteristics or elements that are either helpful or harmful to the established objective (Yoder-Wise, 2015). A SWOT analysis of the organization reveals that the strengths include having a long history and positive reputation within the community, providing comprehensive services, being a recognized teaching facility, a geographically central location with easy access, and a strong commitment to the community. Although not specifically defined within the mission and vision statements for Community Medical Centers (CMC), quality is inferred in its desire to improve the health status of the community it serves.

School Days

Can you believe that the whole family is in school right now? Dalton started high school this year and Morgan is in seventh grade. They are growing up way too fast! In addition to juggling their schedules with school events, sports and homework projects, Kevin and I are both taking classes. Kevin is taking Spanish this semester to become bilingual. Actually, he is finally starting to get some of his general ed requirements. I have been after him for a long time, but he says he isn't looking to promote and hasn't shown much interest in a degree until recently. Never say never though; you don't know what God has planned for your future. Only two classes left for me and then I'll be able to apply to the Physician Assistant program; chemistry and microbiology. Hopefully some of the classes will also apply towards my bachelor's degree and then maybe a master's degree.
