Are we fiddling like Nero while the vineyards around us burn? World wine production soars due to climate change and increasing appetites for good juice... Hall Vineyards in Napa Valley hires Frank Geary to build a Gearyesque monument to insatiable tourism...Constellation Inc. continues to buy up every major winery within spitting distance... and people complain when they see immigrant laborers lining up in the local grocery parking lot to pick grapes for $5.00 per hour. What's up here??

What a year... I am worn out and glad Nature is allowing things to slow down. Its been many months since the last posting due to focusing our energy on Nancy's health and her cancer surgeries. She seems to be bouncing back with good bloodwork results and half as much treatment needed as usual.
