Clif Family The Climber Pouch 1.5L (4)

Saturday, August 4, 2012

I was a different person back then, you know? I was young, angry at the world for reasons that weren’t anyone’s fault but my own, and too stupid to see it. Hanging out outside convenience stores, passing around three dollar bottles of wine wrapped in brown paper with guys with names like Ponzi and M-Bezzle and Steve, waiting for some sucker to pay me from insider trading tips was no way to live. I see that now.

The more I think about it, that time away in a federal prison was good for me. It was rough, sure. The lack of loofah for my private shower, the wobbly ping-pong table in the rec room, the absolutely atrocious Beef Wellington they’d serve us on Thursday nights, I still nightmare about those things today. It really opened my eyes to what I was doing to myself. I swore to myself that when I got out, I’d never repeat the mistakes that put me in that body pillow-less hell.

Nowadays, I’m living life the way it should be lived. I’ve got a good job, a budding family, and when my wine comes in a bag, only the Clif Family 1.5L The Climber Pouch will do. Whether it’s the fruit-filled palate and decisively juicy finish of the Chardonnay or the lush wonder that is the blackberry jam, plum and black currant flavors of the Cabernet Sauvignon, I’m reminded with each sip that I can continue being a better person than I was before, one that doesn’t get caught so easily.

Oops! Would you look at the time? I’ve got to go meet a client about his “foreclosure rescue!” Thank goodness these Climber pouches are so portable.
