Where did I leave you? Six days ago I wasn't feeling well. Today I'm feeling great physically but am very disappointed because we are leaving the pacific northwest. Washington State is now on my list of places I may want to live. The dead of winter for Port Orchard means a balmy 55 degrees. Green and lush with mountains on one side and ocean on the other. What more can a man want? Oh... how about an amazing wine region. After six days I had just begun to wet my whistle. My sniffer was out for any wine that had limited release. Bottle after bottle of wine that you can't get outside of Washington State. I felt like a kid in a candy store. One wine specifically was made by Owen Roe from the Yakima valley. 1000 cases produced of a delicious red blend. After seeing that it was Cab Franc driven I ignored the $44 dollar price tag. Smooth and tasty with nice dark fruit. I thoroughly enjoyed myself while listening to seals barking outside my hotel room. At this point I was really feeling like I was on a paid vacation.
Today was a long day and I'm ready to sleep soundly. We loaded in at 8AM and had a 2pm show and then a load out followed by a 3 hour drive. Sadly we drove east . We are heading into the cold and the middle of the country. Lacrosse WI is our next show location. This involves many days of long drives. Although it will be nice to not have to load in and out for a few days... We will be driving into frigid temperatures. North Dakota, Minnesota, and Wisconsin are places the cold loves to linger. Frigid weather and I don't mesh. My people are from hot sandy lands.
Ok time to retire. Look for a lot of bitching in the next few posts. Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!
