... of expired deer. It was a awesome and gory site. Then we enter the Calistoga Ranch, impeccably groomed grounds and smiling faces greet us. We feel like celebrities. April directs us to not touch our luggage as the valet takes care of everything.

They whisk us up the hill to the bar in a golf cart with great plastic door with spring-loaded doors. The ...

Hello. recenly I have stayed at the heaven's edge ranch in jenner,ca. unfortunatly my stay was not comfortable. there was alot of mold and mildew in the house and when I was leaving I saw a mouse. just thought you would want to know before staying there. happy holidays and safe trips to all!

... be leaving "the boys". We've had tons of fun. Unfortunatly it took us three damn months to teach them to play Euchre, but we've made up for lost time in the last week but playing every night and allowing it to get extremely heated. Although, with Rob playing any game.. things usually get out of hand.

The next few weeks should be fun though.. finally a ...

... up and the guy Jamie was great. A beautiful ranch, we sat in the lviing room and drank a collection of great pinots and syrahs. Second we went to the ever famous Chateau Montelena. (Winner of the imfamous Judgement of Paris 1976 tasting for their 1973 C******nay). After being greeted by the world's biggest douchebag, we were passed onto Mary-Ann this sassy 50-something year old woman who gave us a great tasting. We got to try the 2003 C ...

... out of the way I’m coming through’ rather than ‘OK so you funked up so why don’t you go ahead and move on over.’ There is just no way for drivers here to let you know you can cut over so you are left with the only other option. Floor the throttle and hope that the surprisingly large and unsurprisingly gutless engine will get you over before you end up as scrap metal. I love driving over here J

Anyway once past Santa Rosa the ...

What I saw: More beautiful wine country settings on a perfect sunny day with temps in the 70s F (low 20s C). So, same as yesterday but even nicer wineries.

What I drank: A nice Gerwersteblahdeblah, a fresh Voigneeedoodah and a Cab drivers soapy wand. Well something like that.

What I listened to. “2613 Melancholia by Album L” Can you see the path of deeply original thought on that one?!

... replaced by a stream of mediocre, bland and homogenous US hair-rock and MOR; ahh it burns, it burns!

Food was found at Willys wine bar – well food for everyone else as the concept of vegetarianism stretched to a leafy salad and some boiled to death carrots soaked in a liquorice sauce. Ugh puke!

For the 4th night on the trot we were all wrapped up by just after ten – although as I noted on the way back from the restaurant – with ...

... can lack class. I noticed they had garlic fries as an appetizer and after yesterdays sorry offering and after many alcoholic 'samples' think it might be a good idea to have something to absorb it all so I order em up and THEY WERE OUTRAGEOUSLY good.. OMG I had to push the basket over to Marshall to stay out of them. Every bite was full of garlicky goodness. Now I have to figure out how to make them baked so I can have another fix.

Full Moon Day Monday night was a total eclipse of the full moon, in case any of you failed to take note of that. Full moon days are always auspicious to Tibetan Buddhists, and they say anything you do (good or bad) on those days is multiplied 100,000 times. So once a month you have the chance to really add to your karma points or guarantee yourself rebirth as a cockroach, however it goes. I am being a bit ...

... had some mixed emotions. I started my day at breakfast with my annoying roommate. His voice was pretty much enough to drive me crazy at that point. He mentioned that he was going to Flores/Tikal that weekend on a last minute trip. It took me like 2 minutes until I realized he'd be there at exactly the same time as me...ugh! Fortunately, as much as I was afraid of bumping into him at every turn, it never happened. I went to my last class, which was ...
