Exploring California Wines
I spent over a year hardly drinking any wine. I don’t think I had more than one bottle’s worth in all that time. Before that, I used to have quite a bit: dining out, socializing with friends after class, going to and hosting wine tastings, and occasionally just for fun while at home. I’ve recently… — read more

Visiting Eva
Several months ago, I wrote about selling a white Honda Clarity that we had named Eva. We managed to find out where the car ended up, and we got to see her briefly parked in her new home. I know she’s just a car, but we were happy to see that she is now in… — read more

Something to look forward to again…
Whenever I go a few days without writing on here, I find myself missing the experience of typing away the random thoughts that cross my mind. I was once again watching a broadcast of previous concerts at the Hollywood Bowl on television. In the last few weeks, I have also treated myself to some wine… — read more

Yearning for travel writing
There are plenty of stories of people who chuck everything to pursue their dreams and live a wonderful and fulfilling life doing what they love. I am not brave enough to jeopardize my current income for something I have no idea will bring success. The dream, of course, is to travel extensively and write about… — read more

Friendships
Just a few years ago, I was constantly sending messages to friends and planning events so I could fill every moment with friends. I believe this behavior stemmed from me being a loner most of my life, and I got a taste of what it was like to be very social. I wanted to constantly… — read more
