The Art of Randsomness and Olive Diving


Olive diving. 

One of my favorite pastimes. 

Jacques Cousteau would be proud. 

For some reason, this week, I felt the insatiable urge to put on my scuba gear and dive into the depths of a martini glass. 

Mission accomplished. 

As I was snorkeling around last night, a couple came in, sat next to me, and ordered a Gin Martini and a Sauvignon Blanc.  

We started a random conversation about the differences between Pinot Grigio and Sauv Blanc and the differences between Gin and Vodka martinis. 

Delightful, brief conversation. 

The couple reminded me of my wife and me.  A couple that found each other later in life, sips from the cup that life offers every day and savors every moment. 

Plans have been made for an olive diving/grape-tasting expedition in the future. 

Randomness. 

Cousteau said it best, "from birth, man carries the weight of gravity on his shoulders. He is bolted to earth. But man has only to sink beneath the surface and he is free."

Dive in.
