Beaujolais

Did you uncork a bottle of this year's Beaujolais last Thursday night, which marked the "2011 opening"?

I didn't. But I bought a bottle and I plan to pop it open tonight, while watching Game 6 of the Japan Series. As of now, the Softbank Hawks are leading the series versus the Chunichi Dragons 3-2.

My wife is from Kyushu so she is rooting for the Hawks.

I like the manager of the Dragons, Mr. Ochiai, who is in the last year of his contract and will not return as manager next year. So I am rooting for the Dragons. (But I have Softbank stock, and if the Hawks win, then maybe the stock will go up a little, so I am thinking about changing my team...Sorry, I am not so loyal when it comes to Japanese Baseball.)

As many of you know, I really love baseball. So, because this will be the last weekend of baseball for a long time until next year's spring training, I hope that Chunichi wins Game 6,　and then the Hawks win Game 7. If that happens, then my wife will be happy, and the stock will go up, and I can watch two more game of baseball, so a Triple Winner!!!

Anyway, I will let you know how the Beaujolais is next week!

Hope everyone has a good rainy weekend!
