I attended a family event this past weekend and it was interesting to listen to the elders engage in the great debate going on in our community…Clinton or Obama? The younger relatives (40 and under) were mostly vying for Obama, but the older relatives had mixed feelings. I heard everything from, “That Obama talks to much…” and “I like Obama, but can he win a general election” and “You know, that Hillary is no Bill Clinton.”
I loved listening to and chiming in on this presidential discussion with my immediate and extended family. In the air, there was and still is the strong feeling that regardless of what happens, history will be made. And, more importantly, we are a part of this history being made. Many of the elders in the room, were active participants in the Civil Rights movement from sit-ins to marches and more. They lived their history. I feel like our generation wants to make history and be part of something new. Something different. Something progressive. Change.

Surprisingly, after months of blogging I have not mentioned Linganore Winecellars and Berrywine Plantations previously. The Linganore Vineyard is located in Mt. Airy, MD. I first went to Linganore during a Wine Festival where I discovered two of their semi-sweet grape wines Skipjack and Mountain White. Both are delicious wines if you enjoy a sweet wines. Their fruit wines are good too…Raspberry and Peach come to mind.
After independently discovering Skipjack as my favorite, I realized that there are quite a few Skipjack fans in the area. Linganore wines are available at several wine stores throughout Maryland, including Prince George’s County — see the Wine Finder to find retailers and restaurants. According to the Linganore Wine Finder, it looks like both Stonefish Grill and Gladys Knight and Ron Winan’s Chicken and Waffles serve Linganore wines. I have learned to buy early near holidays because Linganore wines, especially Skipjack, sells out often.
Since I’m talking about wine, I should also mention other favorites. Schmitt-Sohne Riesling is also a tasty dessert wine. White Merlot is a good blush for summer, similar to White Zinfandel, but generally not as sweet. As you can tell, dry white wines are not my favorite, but a Pinot Grigio is doable. If you’re into dry wines, I always hear good things about Yellowtail Chardonnay, but it’s too dry for my taste buds.

If you are someone who likes frequent massages, you may want to consider going to a student massage clinic for $35 one-hour massages. I have never been, but the women that I know who go admit it’s a mixed bag…you could get a really good student masseuse or someone who may need a little work (or new career path…lol). 
But, for $35 it may be worth it.
Two massage clinics in the Baltimore area –
