Heritage Seniors retained Hoover-Slovacek for theTuesday, June 17th proceedings, with Brianna Lans arguing on behalf of Rosie Perez as plaintiff’s counsel. JudgeMasdenat times appeared visibly upset but maintained his composure, trying to understand the plaintiff’s argument that no rent checks will be accepted until all latest fees have been paid. The Plaintiff showed pictures of what they said were an infestation,butthepictures were apparently not of the sameapartment,andended up being nothing but a distraction. Heritage has been ordered by the court to waive all the fees down to the February to June original rents due for Mr Bates’portion of the total, which is $1665 The Montgomery County Housing Authority pays two-thirds of the Veterans rents, and when the Judge learned that Heritage Seniors accepted that, which is a partial payment

of Bates’ monthly rent, Judge Masden found for thedefendant.

The Crown Prince’s onlywayforsuccessinthis enterprise is to be humble. Put the Iranian people before himself and his family Don t force anything. A reasonable westernized rule of law should be introduced. A Constitution free of Sharia influences.

FOOD&DRINK

A Sip And A Thought: The Wines of My Youth

byRubenBorjas,Jr

We all have a relationshipwithwine. Whetherwe drink it or not, it’s still an association. My first taste wasjustasmalltouchofmy grandfather s muscadine whitewine,whichsomeone had made from his old recipe, but the maker didn’t putenoughsugarinitformy taste. I was only six at the time, so it put me off the vino for a while, not that I waslookingforit. Mynext opportunity came when I was an altar boy I was exposedtothewine,yes,but as a twelve year old, I did drinkit,butitwassoweak,I didn’tthinkmuchofit. Plus Ididn’tmakeahabitofit. I rememberonetime,whena priestwalkedinafterItook a sip but the refrigerator door shielded me on the downward stroke, which was my closest to being nabbed. And just for the record, I was never abused. Myhighschooldaysbefore I got my vehicle, I’d hang out with some people down thestreetwhohadcars. MD 20/20,hadtocomeintoplay somewhere, and this is its short play One thing I neverdidwasreadthelabel, since we all called it Mad Dog, thinking it was made outofthetubofsomeguyin thehood. Weknewofthe20 ounce 20 percent alcohol, andthatithaditssweetfruit punch taste, which was drinkable, and most importantly cheap. I never knew that Mogen David produced it for the college market, and beyond that migrated to their student underlings in secondary school.

I’m not glamourising pre-adult consumption, but it was a way of growing up

back in the 80’s. I didn’t smoke, or do drugs. The understanding with my parents was, yeah, you can drink, but do it responsibly

Moderation is key Especially,ifyoudon’twant your van keys taken away Fortherestofhighschoolit waswinecoolers,andsome beer every once in a while. And I made judgment calls, whether to drive home, or justsleepinbedintheback ofthevanuntilitwassafeto drive. My parents knew I was exposed to alcohol, but theytrustedme,andIdidn’t want to break their confidence.

I’ve written before, I wasstill18whenIarrivedin West Germany as a young soldier For a while wine was off the menu, and the local beer Licher was a mainstay I still chuckle at the thought of my first hail and farewell, when I mixed Licher and Ouzo a clear anise, or licorice type flavored liquor, that was shipped in from Greece The next morning I rememberthrowingupona SergeantMajorsyard,while walkingtowork.

It’s funny now that it has been decades since, but it was a little embarrassing back in theday AndasIadjustedto life, and started venturing offbase,beginningtomake German friends in the nearbytown. Itwasduring a local festival, I met a German woman who had beenanexchangestudentat Memorial High School just offInterstate10inHouston, andwekindahititoff. She started introducing me to

Incredibly, Black Cat is available in Montgomery County, but the days of the charm are gone, instead the bottleisshapedintheactual shape of a black cat, and is sold at 500ml per bottle to remaincompetitivewiththe price points of the 750mls.

On the nose, I enjoyed the familiar bouquet of apple, pears, and lemon; while on the palate I remember it beingabitdrier,butpalates change over decades, and the finish of yesteryear has softened into a long and refreshingsweetenedfinish. I can tell that now, as opposed to it as back in the

day I remember that the lady that I was with at the time, her flat offered an invitingviewoftheGerman countryside She would serve the Black Cat with a Handkasse, or hand cheese, baklava,orfruitslices. I fell further in love withthewineonmyfirsttrip along the river during a RheininFlammen,orRhein in Flames event, where you take a boat trip on the river when fires are lit on the shores, fireworks are displayed, and the ships are brilliantly lit as they make their way down the waterway With the right person it's a most enjoyable evening and has been known to rekindle failing romances. Of course, the peoplealongtheshorewere just as excited to see the boats. I mostly enjoy the Moselland Riesling as a cheeseanddessertwine,but itpairswellwithchickenas wellasroastedveggies.

Some years later in Germany, I ran across another wine Imiglykos White, a sweet wine, 11% ABV, made from the Greek Muscat grape, which has many varieties in Europe, but the color reminded me of the wild mature Muscadinegreengrapesmy Grandfather would pick to makehisbatches.

with my first sip, the berry aromas, and of course the hints of the jams that my grandmothermadefromthe remainsofthewildharvest, were very special I remember pairing it with a German crisp and sweet bread, sort of like a Melba toast,andwouldtopitwitha pear marmalade sweetened with a little of the wine Absolute Heaven. And on thosecoolerSummernights as fall lurked in the shadows, I d wish time could stand still. I lived in the FriedbergCastleatthetime, and loved to just sit on a rampart, sip, people watch, or chat with whoever was visiting. Istayedthereuntil IhadtoleaveforOperation DesertShield.

You know with everything that has happened in my life, and I’m still relatively young. It’s hardtobelieveI’velivedit. I m not a superhero or JamesBondoranythinglike that,somemaysay,butIfor suredon’t. Itookrisks,yes, but for me I needed some occasionalexcitement. But beingabletorelayittoyou; and to someone who may say, “I’ve lived an uneventful life.” You haven’t. It’s importanttobewithpeople, maintain good relationships, and enjoy a great glassofwinewithsomeone everyonceinawhile. Ifyou arelonely,makefriends. If you need to communicate with someone, my email is right there. Heck, I’ll even bring the wine. Life is too short to say it's not worth living. Itis!
