not.  Have to keep moving and get things, all, in order for tomorrow.  Hoping I’ll be sent out on “outreach”, to greet neighboring wineries and grow our communicative program to further awareness of DCW.  I’ve never been this excited and creatively enlivened by a winery with which I’ve worked.  But here I am, walking the vineyards on my lunch break, skipping eating just so I can get a couple shots of rows in the rain, leaves as the sun thinks about coming out, my friends on the crush pad processing fruit before it goes to tank, barrel, bottle.

Not going to say how I aim to wake at four even though you know I do and you know I’ll probably fail.  But that “failure” needs to immediately halt.  Will brew coffee when wife upstairs goes.  Speaking of, I should probably go check on the little beats.  Had great class meetings today.  Somewhat re-catalyzed my passion for teaching, but I’m not eager to anymore teach in that context, the institutional box.  Entrepreneurism, brick-and-mortar business ownership actuates all about me.  The wine business isn’t ready for what I’m about to hit it with.  There could be a bit of fallout, but I don’t estimate much.  I’m off-topic now, so maybe I should call the night, day, all of this Halloween.  So, then, bonne nuit…..
