This has gotta be kinda elitist: Our neighbor & pal Joel
invited us out to a winery
on an October afternoon to check
out a small, private concert by British singer Ian Hill (of
Gomez) and another new band called Buddy. They were both
pretty good. But seriously, they would have had to be awful to spoil
the day -- warm sunshine, golden vineyards, and lots of
happiness fueled by $50 bottles of pinot noir.
Dan & Lorraine were there with an overflowing picnic basket,
as were Carrie and Shannon, and of course Joel & Cailyn. I
got to talking with one of the winery owners, a former trader
who had the foresight to cash in her earnings on the
foreign trade desk nine months before the market tanked and
retire to the serenity of the Russian River Valley. I raised
a glass of pinot and toasted her timing.
