An Epic Day

My Life. Digitally Prepped, Cooked and Served Exactly as You Ordered.

Please buy me: Triumph Thruxton

If I ever get a motorcycle, it will be a Triumph Thruxton.

Daredevil to Plunge From Outer Space in Supersonic Suit

I really couldn't be too much more giddy about this 23-mile plunge.

Track of the Day: Calvin Harris "I'm Not Alone."

(download)

It's Friday and I'm ready for the weekend*.  I don't know how I stumbled on to this guy's music, but if you're ever in the mood for a little techno-boost, Calvin Harris will gladly provide it. 

Also, I'm going to start trying to post a song of the day more regularly.  My iTunes library has officially eclipsed 21,000 songs (!!), and I need to start sharing some of it's awesomeness with each of you.  I'm going to do my best to add one each morning to kick your day off properly.  The type of music I'm going to post is going to be more eclectic than you'll ever imagine - make sure to check back in!

(Interestingly enough, Calvin has a song called "Ready for the Weekend" that's pretty good.  I like this one better though.)

For $50, this thing is a steal.

Everybody loves Stormtroopers!!!

A "Stormtroopers 365" by some dude named Stefan. Pretty great if you ask me.

Video of the Day: PS22 Chorus & Matisyahu "ONE DAY"

Wow.  It's a good day when you stumble on a video that genuinely inspires you.  

Thanks to Brian Fitzgerald for posting this.  

Wine for $9: The Best Boxed Reds | Serious Eats

Don't sleep on wines that come in a box. It's such a reasonable choice, and the wine with last quite a bit longer than a traditional bottle (after they've been opened, of course).

Jamie and I had the Vin Roufe "From The Tank." Give it a shot...you won't be disappointed.

From the Tank Red about $30 (find this wine, also here)
This Côtes du Rhone blend of Grenache, Syrah, and Carignan has a jammy scent and concentrated flavor. We tasted tart blueberries, plums, and red pepper flakes. Decant this one--the firm tannins relax a little, though you can still taste leather and smoke on the finish.
