I just cracked open a freebie bottle of Dry Cypriot Red that I got from the Le Meridien Limassol. Cab, Maratheftiko (native Cypriot varietal) and Mataro blend. Very tasty. The Greeks know how to make amazing wines. Pity they keep all the good ones for themselves and ship us Retsina.

I was watching TV and on the screen was

So Now Im here

You can find a good Greek wine in the states; it is just really hard. We even had a good Retsina at dinner the other night at a Greek place here. They had quite a wine list, though pretty pricey, even for NYC.

I plan to start working out hardcore when I get back from HKG. I would love to get back down to 190. I know with the 2 miles of cardio I *PLAN* to do every day, I can drop at least 30 by the do. My plan is to be ready for the beach in Belize in May. ^^

True. I even know a few greek groceries (one in MSY) that carry some good ones (including the Kretikos Cretan Red that I love). However, they are definitely few and far between.

My Wii Fit is being installed as I type. Cutting back on booze has been a huge help to me in losing lbs. this year; that and getting out of a frankenstein boot. Though I am enjoying a Pom cocktail in front of the fire. I've haven't cut out; just cut down.

She might but I HATE cold/snow/ice/etc.

My strategy is to switch frequently between Wine, High-Grade Beer, and Whisky. It keeps the liver guessing, and the pounds off. With her M.D. nearly completed, the Significant Otter likes to chide me for all my "crazy" health theories. I try to explain to her that those swindlers who have indebted her for life with nonsense high-falutin' "knowledge" haven't even skimmed the surface of true holistic well-being. Why, my patented Otter Oil is guaranteed (100%!) to ease your aches, drop those pounds, and make you irresistible to all suitors. Please, step right this way. :)

Gotham City.:rolleyes::D

:D ^

I'm in loooooooooooove with Wii tennis. Dance Dance Revolution is going to take some work - I thought it would be like step classes at the gym but...no. As soon as I see Wii Fit I'll grab that.

When in May are you going to be there? I'm sure we've talked about this here before but I'm going for Memorial Day weekend. I did start working out more as part of my weight loss, too. I really am enjoying it more than I thought I would.
I've certainly not cut out completely either. I might get thrown out of the box. But I don't have 3 large glasses of vodka with a large dinner every night anymore either. Man, those dinners in the bar at the Connecticut Avenue Morton's were something. When the bartender at a Morton's knows you and can pour your drink as you're settling in something strange is going on in your life....

I am going may 8-11. This was the only time that I can get 3 days there without connecting in DFW and having an overnight layover.
