the Santa Ynez wine

The last week Jen and I didnt go to Rome, or Athens, we went to the city of angels. Los Crazy. while on our trip we visited the beach, china town, hollywood blvd (which happens to be very dirty), and 2 hours north of the city, Santa Ynez (a small wine region) the best parts of the trip involved the wine tasting and the beach with my wife and seldom seen sister Shalom. We went to 3 winerys, the favorite was sunstone, organicly grown grapes, and gorgous landscape.

open forum

We just finished our 3 open forums with jared, and i think it went really well, lots of great conversations, lots of great people, all good. tons of great food, tons of beer and wine. i really liked it. and it felt like we really gave a lot of our friends a good experience.

Coffee

One word "French press" I have finally purchased one, and I love it. I love it for a couple of reasons.
first reason...Its just plain hip to have a French press
second reason...The coffee is so good and unadulterated
third reason...Something about a process makes it better, the fact that I am not just grinding the throwing the thing together in a maker makes it more fulfilling
fourth reason...Its much stronger.
fifth reason...Its hip/cool
