WOW ; wow wow! So Much To Sort Through - so here I make an attempt!
ASK ME IF I AM HAPPY ?!? I am, I had my car battery go dead on me
earlier and the AAA man Mo come and tell me my alternator signal is low
and I need a new alternator! Ouch : my spirits were low then, really
low. Mo said , : " Let me try it once again? " So he did and the results
were that my almost 6-year-old battery was dead! What a relief, he had
one, and the ci=ost of a new battery is so much better than replacing an
alternator : yay, and my car drives better, too. Go figure?!?

READ & Give A SHOUT OUT With Us -
SO I AM IN A GOOD to GREAT MOOD on a glorious day today! So let's
start with business as usual, and then go onto my many SHOUT OUTS for
all those greatly deserving at the end of this email that is back,
working, functioning, alive, healthy and strong! Sorry for the long
delayed, there were technical difficulties that have been resolved, and
all, like my car this morning is soooooo much better. Halelulliah.
THIS DINNER below written about on October 6th, 2009 is one of the
many dinners we have hosted here in the past, just like the one we just
did with John and Theresa Morrison at Ardeo restaurant with owner/
winemaker Alejandro Jofre of his family's JA JOFRE winery in the
Colchagua Valley in Chile on 9/26/2017. It was another resounding
success and we want to give a Big SHOUT OUT to all those that helped to
make it so from the kitchen staff, chef, general manager, servers,
sommelier David, owner of Ardeo/Bardeo, to Alejandro, to John and
Theresa, to those that helped to make the wine, too at the vineyard
itself.
THIS IS WHAT I HAVE BEEN THINKING recently : draw attention to the
positive, to those that make up our communities small and large,
national, state, country, international : all that selflessly give of
themselves to make everything, everyone the best that they can be - both
giving and receiving, not always asking first : " What is there in it
for me? "
HEARING SO MUCH NEGATIVE, difficult, unbelievable, astounding,
absurd, selfish, those passing the buck and never having it stopped with
them, those that throw up unnecessary barriers, say things cannot be
done, make excuses, looking the other way, you know what I am saying,
you get the idea? This is to concentrate on the positive, to move
forward celebrating that which is good, that which has been done, that
which is making us stronger and happier, whether it has been recognized
and thanked or not.
I WANT TO acknowledge, to mention, to draw attention to, and to say
' thanks '. ' we see and listen and care and do notice your efforts,
what you have added to our communities, our lives - thanks. '
I HAVE ONLY MY EYES, MY EARS, my senses, but I can have a positive
effect as we all can and so this store email is dedicated to giving a
Big SHOUT OUT where I can today, and I apologize now if you deserve one
and I have forgotten to mention you.
SOMETIMES THE Shout Outs can be small, but for many they are big.
Justin Pinder has helped us with our computer here for many years now
and he helped get us rolling once again with these weekly Tuesday store emails : thanks Justin. You are the best, always have been.
I WANT to also say that it is so heartening to see and hear about
all that have responded recently to our disasters in Houston, Florida,
Las Vegas, Puerto Rico. To hear about Jose Andres and his group that
have helped at all these, now in Puerto Rico doing what they can makes
us proud to be humans and alive and there for others, it is inspiring
indeed, really it is.
OUR PRAYERS and THOUGHTS go out to all those that have lost their
lives, those that have survived and are now trying to make sense, to
rebuild, to move forward, pick up the pieces, and be once again
productive and a part of a community and more. How do they do it? The
obstacles are so many that it seems unbelievable that they are able to
do so.
AND SO OFTEN we seem to dwell on the negative aspects of anything,
and that is certainly not healthy. Each community, each neighborhood,
each family and business, association, retail operation, group needs
support. No question : we need to help bolster the spirits and the
moods, the positive, the warmth, the smile-laugh-making that makes it
all more than bearable. It must be also enjoyable, meaningful,
welcoming, enriching, too.
IT CANNOT ALL BE DEFEATIST, WITHOUT HOPE : there must always be
hope and dreams that are still alive and realized. I cannot accept this
past week when a young male customer from West Virginia told me that
there is no hope there. That certainly can and must be changed.
I WANT TO FOCUS with you all on the positive here in our
neighborhood. We need to see the growth, the change, the present and the
future as something that is strong and resilient and not simply
defeatist!
That will not do, that must change, we must focus on what we each
can do and can add to make things as positive , enriching and as healthy
as possible. That is up to you. Take a look around and try and see what
you might do or add on your own to make things better all around.
I WANT TO SAY that recently I have taken a much closer look at out
neighborhood here on Connecticut Avenue and I have been enriched
considerably for doing so. I feel better having done so.
I HAVE STOPPED to look into the storefronts here of our many
businesses, and I have been cheered, I have smiled, I have felt very
positive doing so.
WHAT I HAVE EXPERIENCED doing so is to realize that we have many
one-of-a-kind retail and businesses here - with individuals present to
talk to, to witness in action doing what they do, people to talk to when
we have questions and needs and more.
I HAVE REALIZED that with each of these businesses it is like
stepping into the past, being present, and thinking that these bits of
personal informations, services, people will live on and continue to
impart, to share, to add their services, insights and touch our lives
now and well into our future. This is special, this is personal, this is
our community and it is all available to those of you that take the
time to realize that what we have is so much more than when the stores
and the retail that is taking over is simply carbon-copies of so many
others : that if they are good it is because of those hired to do their
jobs properly, that do them, that care, that see the importance of the
roles that they play in each and every one of these communities.
WE MUST ALL as retailers realize that we do and can make a
difference. That our attitude, our smiles, our greetings, our welcoming
of you all, welcoming your pets, too : that it all is really important/
SO : I WANT TO GIVE a Big SHOUT OUT to all those here that have
touched my live, our lives, enriching them, making them bearable and
positive.
BEAU FINLEY has done a great job as our ANC The Fighting 3C04
representative. He cares and he has been very present and available to
us, letting us know whenever there is anything that we should know
about, be aware of. We are sorry to hear that one of the bartenders at
Coppi's Organic restaurant was shot in the Shaw neighborhood ( and we
are encouraged to know that things are progressing better now ).
SO : For Fun, See If You Know These I Mention : Big SHOUT OUT to :
KN Vinod, Marco, Marc, Day, Maps, Hamid, Carlos, Liz, Ramon, Mohammed,
Peter, Jeff, Hondo, Suzie, Tom, Pierre, David, Mr and Mrs Chen, ... and
so many more, you should all be mentioned, I simply do not know all of
you personally, and if I do I do not always know your names. Thank you
all.
AN OBSERVATION : We as businesses here should get out and meet one
another more, ask each other's names, ask others where they work, what
they do, socialize a bit more to know in fact who we all are here! I am
always so pleased to make the proper connections, to realize how rich
and enriching this environment is.
I JUST GOT A ' Thank You ' Call from Wendy that helped to give a
birthday party this past weekend for their friend turning eighty! Wendy
was in charge of the spirits and bought two cases of red wine to soak
the labels off of, and to apply new ones with the eighty-year-old woman
shown on the label as a beautiful young lady. I loved the picture - was
immediately drawn to it. What great love and community, family, all.
Glad it all worked out well Wendy. I appreciate the call this morning.
GOOD NEWS : Into the old location for Ripple we have a new Italian
restaurant moving in by owners of both Cucina Al Volo and Osteria Al
Volo. Their truck was there this past Saturday
afternoon. I took pictures of that and posted them on our Facebook page
at : Cleveland Park Wine & Spirits. Check them out. Great news
indeed! So stay-tuned, hopefully like Mr Chen's Organic Chinese
restaurant this will happen sooner than later. Go by also and try the
food at Mt. Chen's Organic restaurant : they, like all our restaurants
here have many seats to fill, and the food here that we offer is
splendid, varied, tasty, enticing, very satisfying! Cheers all, ....
YOU ALL DESERVE this Big SHOUT - OUT!
ALSO : Coming Up :
On Tuesday, October 10th, 2017 6:30-8PM
across the street at the Dupont Arts DC ( in the old Four P's Irish Pub
/ Bar space ) you can go and paint and enjoy your wine, too. WE are
helping with this, will try and be there myself if possible, as this is a
great opportunity for many of you. And we will have some good wine to
enjoy , too! So mark your calendars.
