Rodney Strong Merlot 2005

We don’t drink a lot of Merlot, but Rodney Strong has become one of
our favorite wineries, and Lor got me this bottle for Christmas. It
has a slightly sweet start, but a dry, but smooth finish.

Puppy Snow Day
The first big snow of the season, and it was definitely a great Christmas present for the dogs. They played for hours, and would probably stay out in it all day if I didn’t make them come in occasionally.
Nontraditional Black Friday Shopping
We decided to do a little nontraditional Black Friday shopping today. So, we headed to some of our favorite shops in Blawnox and Verona. As usual, I snapped some pics of a few of the interesting and bizarre things I saw.
My Choir Will Be Singing at the THEOS Concert
On December 13th, at 5:00pm, the Orthodox Clergy Brotherhood of Greater Pittsburgh will preset the 3rd annual THEOS Pan-Orthodox Choral Celebration at Holy Cross Greek Orthodox Church in Mount Lebanon, PA. The concert will feature several choirs, including our own St. George choir, from a variety of Orthodox ethnic traditions singing hymns of the Nativity season.
For the past two years, this has been an incredible event. The choirs all do a wonderful job, and the concert closes with the choirs combining for a huge finale.
If you’re looking for a great way to spend an evening, come and join us!
Textmate Trac Bundle Updated
I just released version 1.2 of my Textmate Trac bundle. It includes an awesome new Preview command contributed by Tudor Marghidanu. While editing a Trac wiki page, just hit command-option-control-p (same as Markdown, etc.) to pop up an HTML formatted preview of the page. Seriously useful. Thanks Tudor!
The command requires the Text::Trac perl module, which you can install from CPAN by running the following in Terminal:
sudo perl -MCPAN -e 'install Text::Trac'If this is the first time you’ve used CPAN, it will probably ask you a few questions, and accepting the defaults usually works out well.
Enjoy.
