Good one, Derrick. There are some wineries around here that we never visit on the weekend for that very reason. 😉

Yogi sure knew how to turn a phrase. Strange thing is, we always understood what he was saying!
He even left us unique pictures – like jumping on Lawson after him pitching a perfect game!
