First thing this morning, finish laundry I started last night.  Which I hate.

Why do I always wait till there’s a mound or mountain of it?

Wien mission yesterday, one of my favorite to date.  Chris says I always say that, and maybe I do but it’s what I felt and still feel.  Spent way too much, but brought back some nice stories and characters… the Writer’s Block from Kamen, the Merlot from Hawkes, and the Caddis wines I didn’t take yesterday but will today – one of them being the GSM and Better Together blend of Cab & Syrah.

My tasting room, on mind…. Or wine shop.  I go back and forth.  Why not both, asking self this morning, and asking seriously.  End of year only days away and in this 16-31 project I keep returning to wine like I always do but with more understanding and thin frustration with self asking why I ever leave or momentarily stray?

Coffee… wine thoughts.  Book.  The drive back out to Sonoma today, what do I want from the day.  The BIGGER plan, written out.  One page in Paris journal.  Tech and wine, shorter posts, MUSIC.

Hear one of the machines chirp or do that song.  Back in the laundry lair.

Why’d I leave it?
