The Power of THREE

In my first week as a Virginian - I have come to realize the magic of the number 3....

First off, in any given town, I feel you need to have 3 friends to be socially in "high demand." I was admittedly nervous to move to Virginia while Tony was out to sea, knowing only a handful of his friends and my one friend from high school Amanda. However, after one week, my triumvirate of friends here: Tatiana, Kelley, and Amanda, have provided me with more laughs, dinner dates, and glasses of Riesling than I would have ever expected! Here's a little slice of my weekend pie:

Friday - Went to Tatiana's for steak kabobs with her, Ryan, Kelley, and Brandon. Drank some great white zin. Saw "The Ugly Truth." Great night numero uno.
Saturday - Went to the beach with the girls again. Took pictures with funny statues. Discovered a GREAT restaurant (Catch 31...) and had some great Riesling. People watched & got a tan. Then went out to Paradocks sans boys and had great night numero dos.
Sunday - Lunch with Amanda at Panera. Spent THREE HOURS in Lynnhaven Mall... dear Lord that girl can shop. Heading to Keegans tonight for, I promise you, MORE RIESLING... love it. Great night numero TRES.

With all of this Riesling talk - let me also make note of the fact that in any situation... one should stop after drink, or shot, number THREE. This is the magic number where your psyche knows to stay awake and be social, but not be sloppy drunk and distasteful.

Alas... the power of three.
