9/13/12– Luckily, not as long a day for the writer.  [AM, some hour...] 10:06pm.  Only in a mood for verse.  Convinced, now more than ever, that’s all I have time for, anymore.  Pulled mySelf from tide...

10/4/12.  An artisan beer, crafted by a coworker, and a bottle of ’09 Russian River Pinot for night’s writing.  More than tranquil, content, equalized.  Still with the ideology that the other blog is...

Thinking and re-thinking all, after certain events today.  Crazy.  Completely.  One of the more maniacal I’ve had since working at Estate.  Sipping the same blend I did last night.  Just back from Mom...

6/18/14 Kerouac down for his nap, and I’m tempted to take one myself…  Class in a little under four hours, nearly all grading done.  Admirable progress today, I guess.  I mean, I’ve shocked myself a...

Stay Sagacious

Knew right where I was going from the Petaluma Campus, I wanted something to sip of a Bordeaux bend and bravado and I had a certain centering in mind.  So I stopped at Bwise Vineyards, the little...

A Family Winery.

Of my own. Of our own where I could involve Jack and Alice if she wanted, and whatever other little Beat’s on the way. Sipping the Meritage the other night and my ’12 Merlot last night confirmed what...

7.23 Miles Later

Finally had a run like I used to, waking before my alarming time of 4:30, launching at 4:45, and actually hitting pavement at 4:47AM, my earliest run ever.  Actually made it to Mendocino Avenue,...
