Great Day Of Accomplishments

Today I spoke to my brother earlier in the day when he called and that was a great reminder of what I had to do : set up separate blog sites for my various interests : chatpoetry.blogspot.com, chatartist.blogspot.com and chatwine.blogspot.com. This is great! I got all these sites up and running today and I will be able to add to them on a daily basis from now on. You, the reader will be able to access them from now on. I'm ecstatic because it means that I will be able to blog on whatever topics that I want, anytime as long as there is a computer close by. I will also be adding photos, something which has not happened as of yet. Sorry! I'm a slow learner, well-intentioned but slow as molasses where learning new things is concerned. I hope that though slow I will be able to bring to these various tables where we gather around insights that are freah and with new spins that will in some cases blow your minds and stop you dead in your tracks wondering if you have any idea whatsoever about I have just blogged about!?! Don't worry, you won't be alone : I will have some of the very same questions. That's cutting edge, that's what I am all about. I'm not looking for the safe ground. I'm not looking for thr tried-and-true. I want to be OUT THERE and available to all the interesting forces that may be passing by. I want them to pass by and through me. I want to REGISTER whatever it is that I feel as a result! EXCITING!
It's been a great day for me as I have done this and gardened, transplanted and even cooked a lovely meal of a whole rainbow trout, potatoes and avocado and red peppers spread nicely on a bed-leaf of crinkly brown-edged salad with a slice of lemon as a garnish. With all the liberal uses of garlic and herbs du Provence as well as the extra virgin Tuscan olive oil I managed to carry off quite the feast.
I still need to work on my potatoes, not burning them in the skillet. My wife reminded me again of her advice. Next time I will finally apply it and see what results I get.
As I said this has been a grand day. Enjoyed some 2005 red Bordeaux from the Cotes du Blaye : Chateaus something Tigreaux : Water Tiger as I translated. What exactly is a water tiger? It tasted fabulous anyway. Along with that we had some white TARIQUET Gascogne blanc - crisp and lively and thoroughly conversational - pointed, insistent in a nice way. Cheers, TONY
