We are off to Italy again in a few weeks and I am going to be in the Arezzo area for a few days at end of trip. I will be on a mission while in Tuscany.... I am to find a town called Montalcino where there is a vineyard owned by a man who has made a startling discovery and now being studied scientifically. His grapes were not growing as robustly as they should have been for years so he tried an experiment. He decided to pipe classical music to half of his vineyard and the grapes responded by growing large r, juicier and redder than those not listening to music... It deserved a closer look Montalcino is also home to the famous Banfi wines .Banfi wines are considered by the Italian to be the best in Italy with only a small production of certain kinds distributed to America. So Montalcino is about 1 1/2 hours from Arezzo but a lovely trip especially at harvest time .Be sure to go to the musical vineyard called Paradiso di Frassini on the way to Montalcino from Buonconvento. According to an acquaintance who lives there the grapes prefer violins. The owner is Giancarlo Cignozzi and he makes very interesting wines, including one called " DO" ( musical--do, a doe ,a female deer...) containing 12 varietals. An interesting note is that this acquaintance ,Laura, states that when the boss is not there, the workers replace Vivaldi with Vasco Rossi and it does not seem to do the wines any harm It has become a very notable place so it is now necessary to request and appointment to visit. I will gladly give anyone the necessary phone and fax numbers upon request.

I climb out of bed late. No hurry today. On our way downtown we stop for coffee at a gas station. Cryptically, pre-paid envelopes for the gas station’s accounts department wait in plastic dispensers on the pumps. We stop in a car park near one of the +15 walkways that weave around the city. Strange cow sculptures hang around the elevators. They are all painted bizarrely. One is watching TV. I like Calgary. We wander along Stephen Avenue and look up at the big steel trees that frame the skyscrap

Busy. Whoever coined the phrase ‘busy as a bee’ did not consider that there are humans who work in places that are buisi-ER! How many times and in how many ways can you say, “Hi, how are you?” “Have a nice day!” It’s become a challenge. 1) WazzzzuP! 2) Whats shaking? 3)Howz your day going? 4) you’re buying all that liquor? See? I’m stuck already! It can be safely assumed now, that from the amount of beer, wine and “spirits” (as one of my new bosses calls liquor) that the

He was only a part-time lecturer at the Business School and only gave about five lectures a year on project management. He looked around the room again; a large crowd of students were milling around the full-time lecturers and professors and all bar the senior people were at least 10 years his junior, the students at least 20 years younger.
