Last Days

Well, I dare ask the question that one should never, ever ask. No matter the circumstances...
Here it goes...

Could it get any worse?

My Mother always said that is a question you never want an answer to, particularly during a rough period. But I did it anyway.

The worst financial crisis since 1929

Severe Global warming that threatens the living systems we have created

Job Loss, Gigantic companies going under faster than the Titanic

Graduating students with no prospects to look for

Low flying planes in New York for the sake of a good picture..sending people into the streets
running for their lives

Possible Global pandemic of the dreaded Swine flu

And now Arlen Spector wants to become a Democrat??!

It's all too much to take in.

Peace Out

Wine Country

Who knew that our own Sacramento Valley is the cradle of fabulous wine country vineyards? Not I... that is until last week. Taking a break from a long and somewhat stressful conference in our state's capitol, some friends decided to take an adventure and try a wine tasting tour.

When one thinks of good wines, beautiful countryside filled with charm and elegance, Sacramento does not usually come to mind, but now it should...


The wines we tasted were just as smooth, rich, bright, tangy, clean, peachy and refreshing as any I've tasted...

A view from the car window...
