Last couple of months can simply be categorized as the busiest months I have had between work and more work, there wasn't much time to do anything else. Blogging pretty much was nonexistent.

Whats new in the last couple of months?

Work was work, it simply is. Summer is a great time to really focus uninterrupted by meeting to really design, plan and implement some really cool stuff.  So, work was work.

My neighbor had a tree trimmed. More than two cords of fantastic maple wood and it was left all for me. Thanks G! Love you for that! Over several days of arm numbing physical labor I moved and stacked them little logs onto my deck. The bright side is that I get to buy an axe or rent a wood splitter and have a wood chopping party! I have not yet bought the axe and I wonder if I can just go in to Home Depot or Lowes and say "I want an axe". I wonder if I will directed to customer service to 'register' that axe. Or perhaps, an axe is not such a terrible weapon to own. Somehow, I feel scared owing something like that! Upcoming in another couple weeks, I am holding a wood chopping party! Let me know you can (er... want to) help... I am going to need it for chopping two cords of wood. Of course, food and drinks are on the house! :)

Over the last months, one thing that has really worked out well, is the wine tasting! Yes! Almost every Saturday, I have found myself wandering over to Winchester's Spirited Gourmet to taste some incredible wines. I will blog over the next few days/weeks for the wines that I did taste and like. Interesting thing about The Spirited Gourmet is that they are finally getting together the wine diary of sorts in place where consumers can log in their wish lists, the order lists, and more over review wines as they taste them. NOW, if only they got their ducks in the row and actually allow my login to work, life would be great! DUH!

Talking about wine, my favorite store Bermans (in Lexington, MA) has finally gotten off its butt (sorry!) and got its first revamped website up. I think it is live, but _not_ alive and not even close to the full potential it can be! There is a wealth of knowledge there and can make so much difference to bringing that knowledge to the people who want it. Plus it can cater to the average wine buyer who simply wants a case of good reds!

So, between Bermans and Spirited Gourment, the jury is still out on which one I really like! Almost need a fusion of the two! It is like having two great knowledge bases, each almost complimenting each other.

Travel notes: My car is seeing more miles that it ever did in the past two months. It saw a trip to New York (my sisters place), Lake Taghkanic State Park, and couple of towns around Massachusetts. I have not flown around too much, but never say never. There is a trip to Nashville, TN just around the corner for work.

Oh yes! I turned 36! On September 8th, I celebrated my birthday.
