First Date
Mrs. Perino found herself the unexpected owner of a bottle of Merlot wine. Someone gave it to her husband who was a man who did not drink wine, but they gifted it to him because of the emblem on the bottle. It was her husband’s beloved San Francisco 49er football team. The bottle was engraved with gold and red letters of the SF logo and stamped three times were the roman numbers XVI. Near the bottom of the bottle was the teams’ statistics from their 1981 season. He never let her open it and drink it. What would he do with such a gift? Why did he save it? It sat on a shelf in their bar room.

Cleaning houses is my mother’s business. She encouraged me to go to college, get a degree and find a job doing something I loved. ‘Do well in school’ she said to me. 'So you won’t have to clean toilets and mop floors. Use your brain not your back’, she said. Although it was my first job at sixteen and where I worked on the weekends and summer vacations, she didn’t want to make it a family business. Don’t get me wrong, mom has a thriving business in the Seattle area with some wealthy clients and she’s grateful for the work. Most of her clients are tech guru’s or CEO’s who live in mega mansions whose houses are still clean when you come back because they are never at home to dirty them.
