Most of these people, including our friends up here, just live a different life than the rest of us. In many ways they’re very similar and just like us, the think like I do politically, 
(sorry Grandma Dix) have the same family values, are honest and kind but boy do they have a shit load of money!
Our day started off like the others, coffee and swimming for the boys, then Aleks and I prepared for our tasting at noon. The first to arrive were two our of friends, Diane, whose dad was the Director of the C.I.A. under Kennedy and who was also a top model for the Ford Agency in the 60’s, and Billie, whose husband Greg is one of the 5.2% of billionaires that live in Aspen. Now you wouldn’t know it if you were talking to them as they’re just great down to earth people. Michael Martini also showed up (from the famed Louis Martini wine family) as he was staying at Greg’s and Billie’s. He’s a great guy who recently sold his 4th generation wine 
empire to Gallo. We instantly hit it off and he insists we come to California and stay with him and his family. So anyhow the tasting went well with Craig who runs the Broadmoor showing up with his family at the urging of the President of my distributor. They stayed 3 hours and are calling us Monday to come down and stay and plan out the wine for their new italian restaurant and want us to join in with some golf tournament in July. So overall a successful day.
We went to dinner at Cache Cache where Aleks was until 3am the night before. Peggy joined the three of us and after a great dinner, we went over to the Caribou Club which is the members only place where everyone tries to get in. We sat around and Michael joined us and people watched. Peggy took us into all the back rooms and showed us around and explained all the history as she was great friends with Harley the founder who passed away four years ago. Diane meanwhile was eating in the dining room with her friends who we had Aleks sign a bottle of wine for earlier as it was one mans birthday. Franklyn was his  name and of course he asked us to join them but we just ate and said we’d see them after in the bar. He’s leaving for Nantucket tomorrow for the summer, really? Who are these people??? Now this place doesn’t get going until around 11pm or later. We actually left a bit before midnight as the place was filling up. Billy (the gay nazi door man) who we knew from an event in Denver a few years ago, was deciding who gets in and who doesn’t. It was like a scene out of a 
movie. When we walked in with Peggy, no one questioned us at all.
This morning we’re packing up and will head out around 11. We’ll see all these people again over the July 4th weekend when we’re back up. Diane wants us to join her for the World Championship Fox Hunt and Polo Match in October. She’s offered to handle everything but somehow I don’t think we’ll be going, but you never know.
Here’s some pictures from the misses. The thing to take away from the whole weekend is people are people. The misses is going to start dieting now for the 1960’s Italian glamour dress code for our July 5th event. The misses had a great time talking with Diane hearing all the stories from her modeling days and growing up with daddy running the C.I.A. Anyhow like I said, just like you and I but with a tad more money, but you’d never know it. And by the way, Peggy insists we take the Ferrari when we’re back up and use it for the 3 days we’re here, are you kidding me??? How could I say no? She also wants us to stay with her and go to her house in Belize that sleeps 11, more on that to come. I guess it’s only 2 hours from Dallas.
So back to reality which suits us just fine but these guys are really nice, regular people who were very kind to us and just love the boys. There’s a program for kids that’s a two week economic thing Greg and Billie have promised to get the kids into. Many leaders of the world have all attended this when they were kids. He says they started it as school just doesn’t teach real economics these days. This is an offer we’ll take him up on! It’ll be a few years but it’ll be great for each boy.
I think they like us as we’re just regular people who they can hang out with who doesn’t ask or want anything from them. Maybe it’s just because we’re such a great family, ha ha. Anyhow they took us under their wing and treated us just like one of the group. What fun.
Take care, God Bless.
