run-run-runnin' around

[rone]

Two weekends ago, Kim and i ran away to Calistoga for restoration via mud bath and massage at Golden Haven Hot Springs.  On our way there, we stopped at our favorite wineries, Summers and Ehlers Estate; on the way back, we stopped at Heitz, whose Grignolino wine and port i've admired for some time.

Last weekend, i nerded it up, as ever, at DunDraCon, but i did not neglect my sweet Kimmy on Valentine's Day, and brought her flowers and a card, and then took her out to sushi. DDC was fun as always; although i missed seeing some of the usual suspects, i did get to see vanmojo and dr_strych9, albeit in passing through the LARP in which they were participating (not judging you, guys... well, not too much).

Tonight, Kim and i drove to San Francisco to spend a little time with old Macromedia coworkers.  It's obvious that we're a bunch of nostalgic romantics, and that's fine with me.  I wish we'd've been able to get there earlier and stay later, but an hour-long drive home is always rough.

I discovered Heitz's Grignolino port at TJs a number of years ago--it was what got me into ports in the first place! They had a year (may have been 1998?) that was a super-mega-ultra fruit bomb, it was nothing but fruit flavor and it was really yummy. And not expensive at all!

Sadly, the other vintages of theirs that I've had since were not nearly as interesting to me.

Yeah, well... I did try to get your attention while you were playing that geeky miniatures tabletop game outside Salon E, but you were so tunnel visioned on it you didn't hear me calling your name over and over and over again from two feet behind you, so I went on my way.

Flash!

Macromedia was so great -- damn, rone, I gots enough nostalgia without remembering cool companies of the 90s that got absorbed.
