The wagon
Mefthi from ethiopia discovering a piece of australiana
i
found the treasure at the vineyards, my search is finally over. The vineyards on saturday was my first bit of drinking for nearly three weeks, they had all their early 90's vintage wines up for tasting. I bought a 2004 bottle of merlot. The temptation was defiantely there to fall off the wagon, instead i kind of hung onto the rails and dangled my feet on the ground as it sped along. It's nice country around the vineyards which are about half an hour from c-ville.
Fall break is tomorrow, UVa are such task masters that fall break is only one day, one goddamn day, i have tuesday off though because the chick running the class-the professor - thought fall break should be at least two days, so i'll have to wait untill thanksgiving in late novemberto get some true time off, and by that time the semester is almost over anyway. I'm planning to eat at least three turkeys at the feast. And last the cavaliers beat duke 37-0 but yesterday, we lost again to east carolina so for the season we are 2wins and 4losses.

'But you can't hold a whole fraternity responsible for the behavior of a few, sick twisted individuals. For if you do, then shouldn't we blame the whole fraternity system? And if the whole fraternity system is guilty, then isn't this an indictment of our educational institutions in general? I put it to you, Greg - isn't this an indictment of our entire American society? Well, you can do whatever you want to us, but we're not going to sit here and listen to you badmouth the United States of America. Gentlemen! '

Katy: Is this really what you're gonna do for the rest of your life?
Boon: What do you mean?
Katy: I mean hanging around with a bunch of animals getting drunk every weekend.
Boon: No! After I graduate, I'm gonna get drunk every night.

Ahh Dan,
Welcome to the real world! The world of 9-5, 1/2 day saturday, every second week, deadlines, TPS reports, & the huge excitement of the long weekend. The good life is over....You can have a seamless transition into a corporation!!!!!!
Dan
It seems you are working very hard!!!!!Lucerene production at present is excellent.Looking forward to the 01-12-2006 R day.
Now you are approaching the FALL season how cold does it get .On TV it snows in NY around Christmas or should I say thanks giving.
Have had fitted a tow ball and bike rack to the old ford.
ford won bathurst~! ,
ha, yeah i do feel like i am being molded to work for an american corporation, but that might not be a problem anymore if world war three starts over in korea, lucky their long range missiles dont work otherwise i would feel much safer down under in oz, im sure charlottesville isnt a main prerogative for the terroists, but the fallout cloud from new york city would drift over.
-its half way through fall nearly, and the leaves are just starting to turn, there have been several cold days, but i hear in november is when the temerature plummets,
testing
So far Aussie is doing good. He is now a good boy. He wakes up early morning and sleeps early. He reads books and listens to Mozart and Bethov's. He is now reading the bible and going to church too. He stopped drinking. What a progress. I hope when he comes there you guys won't spoil him.

I must be on the wrong blog site - surely Misael can't be talking about the Daniel Callaghan from East Maitland Australia that I know!!!
misael is a liar... i am still slowly corrupting daniel's mind. beware of daniel's habit of brandishing blades and making bird calls. the boy is a madman. a madman, i say!!!
Dan
I miss those bird calls
