Botany last year was a doozy, all my Viticulture classes were amazing, and we bought a new house and moved.
I didn't get into Davis and now that I sit staring at SF Bay I guess I can swallow that denial.
We have our Davis house on the market and I am thoroughly enjoying exploring the Bay...both land and sea.
For years I have wanted to at least go, if not be involved at the Marine Mammal Center. Now I am all connected over there. It is a wonderful place, doing great work, sitting above a great beach.
"The Kids Are Alright"...yup, I suppose so.
I am still not done being an appreciator of wine. More classes this quarter at Napa Valley College. This time I will be in the winery itself and not as much in the field. I will save a few classes for next year to have plenty of experience and get settled in the new spot before tackling finding fruit and making a vintage. We didn't buy a vineyard as once thought. Sounded like a good idea at the time. Instead, I am happy with the surrounding water, and still devoting a bit of time each week to Enology.
I am fortunate enough to be able to take things slow and savory them. And, yet I know each day is a gift and I still try to pack them full. Now I just try to pack them full of the things I won't regret.
