Finally, we get to the second floor after nearly a week away from my computer. I've had lots of evenings packed with activities lately, Todd Rundgren concert last week, an all-city birthday party this week, and my favorite event, a Pinot Party the next night. We tasted three pinot cultivars including blanc, gris, and noir, mostly from Italy and the US West Coast. I was a little disappointed that there wasn't any Burgundy. My favorite was the Lucien Albrecht Pinot Gris from Alsace. It was actually pretty rich for a pinot, and off-dry with some really nice apricot notes. The Cloudline pinot noir (Oregon) was disappointing compared to previous vintages.
OK, back to the house. The first room, the den, the main attraction is the daybed, my favorite place to fall asleep reading. The next room, the study, is used more for working out now than as a study. I find myself wanting to move the laptop to the kitchen instead of using it at my desk. The studio is least developed--lots of potential there.

I hope you all persuaded your legislators to give a little. I grew up going to the library, so I have seen how deep cuts can run. It should be a law to take every child to them and let them explore.
