Open a straight of vermouth, the celebrated and delicious tradition in European countries like Italy and Spain. Served properly, chilled and sipped slowly—this aromatized, fortified wine acts as a complex aperitif that highlights delicate botanical and herbal flavors.

How to Serve It

Falling in love is a passive, chemical thrill. Staying in love is an active, daily choice that requires vulnerability, emotional maturity, and continuous work if the years continue to fade.
What’s an unhappy married man to do when his wife is having a love affair with others? This was my dilema, my wife had literally fallen for Ernie and Jules aka the Galo brothers, maybe also with Cracklin’ Rose and she went into stubborn denial, refusing to join AA. And guess who was subsidizing their parties? I kept quiet for decades, but when I heard one of my daughters use abandon to describe our divorce, I had to speak up.

2026 COUNTDOWN

Taking care of yourself isn’t selfish—it’s prerequisite. A depleted person has nothing to give. The Stoics understood this clearly: self-mastery comes before all other achievement. Discipline the morning, train through discomfort, examine daily habits, focus only on what you control, and treat obstacles as fuel for growth. These are not lifestyle hacks; they are foundations.
None of this requires special gear, expensive programs, or perfect conditions. It requires a decision. The same discipline the Stoics applied to life must be applied to mind, body, and character. Start with one rule. Build from there. Your ability to endure hardship—and to serve others—depends entirely on how well you strengthen yourself first.
We will continue to be here next year, God willing, just like we have for the previous 14 years.

Par varies from a monetary value to an average golf score without cheating!
How did we allow the national focus from helping others to helping ourselves?
Most of USA enjoys helping others, not someone who only helps himself.
