So I keep typing till I’m in my shop, and think it’s the wine shop idea that’s being targeted seriously for the first time in years.

.494 avg so far this year.  Want it about .500, if I can.  Of course I call, I tell myself.  You write 3000 words a day on wine and there is literally NO WAY you won’t get to the desired room.

Busy day for the Nurse.  Telling me the hospital is full and her department is basically being used as a waiting room.  Headed her way later.  On the drive again planning to listen to podcasts.  This time, rather than writing-poised they’ll be all around and about wine.

Putting myself in the wine character I was in when I started the first blog.  Tasting notes, my own, somewhat of a rating “system” but not really.

Keep writing Mike, everything wine.  Vineyard walks, the days at Dutcher Crossing when I’d walk around the vineyard at lunch and shoot videos, take pictures, even write poems standing up, leaning against one of the posts or tall stakes.

What do I ultimately want in and with wine.  Is the wine shop the penultimate purpose?  I don’t know… I don’t think so.  And in some ways I never want to know.  Really just want to be around IT – the people, the questions, the new releases for wine club and the events.

Testing myself in this new Beat and “topic” obsession.  Wine is more than a topic.  Those drives, the stops when I take pictures… the other day in Suisun Valley while the Nurse was at work, right before bringing her lunch to the hospital, to her floor, for the first time.
