Musings on wine, food, recipes, restaurants, and other topics
Last night, Hubby and I were planning to join up with some friends at his for flamenco dancing at Ibiza (watching, not participating). We had a prior engagement for a supper club kickoff, so as we were leaving, Hubby texted the guy who had put it all together and had sent out a Facebook invite …
When we were at my goddaughter’s birthday party a few weeks ago, her two-year-old cousin only wanted to eat the pink parts of the birthday cake. This provided an interesting contrast to Hubby, who wanted no part of last night’s rosé tasting at JavaMonkey except for the sparkling one. I don’t think his masculinity was …
Whereas the week leading up to the Fourth of July is a big week for grocery stores, out of state fireworks emporiums, and fire extinguisher providers (one can only hope), it’s pretty quiet for my business. My weekend started unintentionally early on Thursday, when I only had one appointment scheduled at the office. I considered …

Taking a brief break from the travel posting to share my thoughts on something that I’ve experienced a few times now.

So yes, I’m getting ready to leave Seattle tomorrow. It’s strange to have been in a hotel room so long I actually unpacked my stuff. The weather took a turn for the warmer, and now I’m down to a tank top to wear on the plane because I ended up going through all my warm …
Spotty posting due to lack of free hotel internets. Yes, it’s quite annoying. At least when I’m back in Seattle, I can count it as a business expense. I’d left off at Saturday morning, when we left Seattle for Portland. The drivers here in the Northwest bewilder me. Hubby says it’s because I have an …
Hubby and I are in Canada now, so I haven’t been able to Tweet since this morning, infernal addictive application. If you’re interested, you can follow me @RandomOenophile Our journeys began Friday, when the day condensed to make it difficult for us to get out of the house in a comfortably early fashion. At least …
Wow, I’ve been a slacker, at least in the blogosphere! The good news is that my practice has experienced a growth spurt. Or at least it did before Memorial Day. Now, between post-holiday malaise and some random maladies going around, I’m having a fairly quiet week. How have I spent my free time? Trying to …
Talk about timing! Hubby and I are working on our plans for our upcoming trip to the Pacific-Northwest, and Jess decided to taste Oregon and Washington wines as part of her Thursday Wine Series! I know we just took a trip to California, but I have a conference in Seattle the second week of June, …
