From where the sun now stands, I shall ride no...
It was the late great Kenny Rogers (is he still alive?) who so eloquently crooned, ”You’ve got to know when to hold ‘em, know when to fold ‘em, know when to walk away, know when to run”. With this sage advice in mind, I’m quietly setting my motorcycle riding cards face down on the metaphorical table and heading for the exit.

Cabernet Part 1
The man holding up the bunch of late harvet semillon is Paul. He’s the craigslist guy I bought my grapes from.
Paul (professional drafter - we’re everywhere) had the clever idea of seeing if anyone else would like to try making wine from actual wine grapes. Several of us craigslist junkies eagerly responded and together the group comprised a substantial enough order to actually...

How to make a pretentious cup of coffee
Step 1: Buy coffee.
Freshness is all that counts. Go ahead and buy gourmet whatever if that’s what they’re buying at your country club or if the packaging matches the color of your Lotus. Stale gourmet coffee still tastes stale and fresh cheap coffee still tastes awesome.
