Wine, Wine and Dine, Whine, and...

Today`s the Day! At midnight, the first Beaujoulais Noveau of 2007 is let loose! You can bet your bottom that I`ll be sipping a little when the clock strikes 12 tonite! Recently, I am hooked on wine...

Do you know the expression "wine and dine"? I want someone to wine and dine me! This expression means to take someone out, treat them to drinks and dinner, and show them a great time. Especially in Japan, many business men wine and dine their customers or clients on their company`s expense account. This means the company pays for everything, the dinner, drinks, karaoke, lounge...everything! That means for the company`s employee and and the client, EVERYTHING is FREE!! I like FREE! ;) and my business`s expense account is VERY small, so I hope someone wines and dines me very soon!! Any volunteers?
Speaking of companies and businesses, many workers whine, or complain about their jobs or their bosses. Why are so many bosses so stubborn and selfish and clueless?! Luckily, I know a few very generous and considerate and successful bosses like Mr. F and Mr. O. Ms. Y. If all of my students could work for those three people, maybe there would be no whining!!
Btw, all the pics are from Ms. e. She took them during her trip to Lake Biwa. The sky looks really blue...Thanks a lot!
