It's still a week off for me and I have some real important tasks ahead of me:
- Arrange ale and lager acquisitions in preparation for stories at A Good Beer Blog.
- Tune banjo, guitar and ukuleles to piano.
- Read a bit about baseball.
- Nap.
- Do taxes.
- Start running the stairs a bit so the first game of soccer will not be so scary.
- Daydream about Chicky's Fine Diner. I didn't even take photos at Chicky's. What kind of blogger was I, I was asked. I ask that myself. The onion rings cast a shadow for God's sake.

Poor Alan ... Hey, I steeled my heart and followed your advice on trimming my grapes on the weekend. It's a tad later than I would have liked, but I stanched the sap bleeding with pruning wax. I'm not quite done, but most of them have been mercilessly chopped back to large vines. They needed a renewal, so here we go!
Thanks for getting my to-do list kicked-started.

Portland: As the Python's said 'it's people like you what causes unrest!'
Portland, Utica and Ithaca are world's apart, just as your Portland is not the one in Oregon. C'mon down and see us!
