Distributors come in with product selected from the list of "needs" I have given them and let me sample an obscene amount of free wine which is mostly only available in restaurants and specialty wine stores. I was also given the opportunity to try a bit of a $270 bottle of Jameson Rarest Vintage that is packaged in a case that reminds me of a coffin. The point that I'm trying to make is that I love my job. I get to spend my time swirling wine in giant glasses and tasting the best of the best wines that I could never do on my own dime. I have also learned a ton and realized just the other day that I can hold my own in a conversation about the characteristics of a good zinfandel, optimal food/wine pairings, and other awesome crap like that. I surprised myself.
I love spring weather. I like the rainy days and I like the sunny, green days, and I love all of the flowering trees in town. I've been enjoying open windows and spring cleaning and music full of memories for a few weeks now. I bought a periwinkle love seat from a rummage sale three weeks ago that will undoubtedly be the defining symbol of Spring 2010 when Matt was fixing up the old house, Griffin was brand new, my grandma surprised me every day, and my sister was so amazing.
I miss Chicago a lot right now. I wish I had time to sneak up there and just wander around the city by myself. I can't wait for the Cal and Cass wedding in July and to see everybody. I hope we're never strangers.
Until next time...

Worry not, ye shall never a stranger be.
Glad to hear things are great in E-ville. Give a Chicago holler to Matt from all of us up here.
