Good morning gentlemen. One thing about this journey that we are on, is that you never stop learning and growing. There are so many aspects of being a gentleman that if you take the time to look, listen, and think, you will find that so many things that we thought were old fashion, stuffy, and unpopular, that we thought we were to good for that, or that it was to expensive. One example for me was golf. I looked as it as an old man’s game, or one for the rich, or a complete waste of time. But in reality is it’s a challenging sport, it is a sport that can bring networking with other men and women, and it will definitely teach you humility and to be humble. Another aspect of this notion is I use to sit down at dinner and if I had a soda or tea with a meal I would drink about two glasses of it and not even think about it. And I would see people drink wine with their meals and I would be like “I can not afford to drink that for dinner”, thinking I would go broke drinking four or five glasses of wine ( mind you I’m thinking about how much I would drink and looking at how small wine glasses are,) so this was my mindset on this. One night me and my beautiful bride went out to dinner and we were given complimentary wine with our dinner from one of the restaurant we frequent (because you know I was not about to pay for that). So as they brought out our meal and the wine and I thinking I am going to have to order a glass of tea or something to go with this or I’m going to have cotten mouth by the end of the meal. And to my surprise at the end of the meal I still had like a half glass of wine and the food tastes amazing! I could not believe it! How could the same food that I have ordered numerous times ( because I’m a creature of habit) taste so much better this time? So me being Sherlock Holmes began to analyze this phenomenal experience, the only difference was the glass of wine. Could it make that much of a difference? And it did! I was like, I didn’t even drink that much of it while I was eating.

I've got the green and brown thing going today. Coupled with my go-to Citizen Eco Drive Duo chronograph. Also 8 pounds down on my weight loss journey. 183 now. Winter goal is 175, but for optimal fitness....if I do another bike race next year, I'd like to be 168 and strong.
