That is all I ever expect from a CPA.

I expect to be able to sleep with my CPA.

On the road again
Just about to get on the road again....

Time, schmime. It is always possible to reach the destination on time. The only question is the budget available for speeding tickets. I am budgeting two, but it all depends how expensive the first one is.

I'll be there on time tonight give or take....

Thank you Sean for putting this event together. Some stellar wine was drank.

Adding insult to injury no doubt.

I will add my thanks to Sean for the outstanding planning. The restaurants were great and the company even better.

What a fun weekend full of great wine, great food and even better friends!!! Thanks to all for showing up! I am looking forward to the next one!

I still need to type up all of my tasting notes for these wines (plus two other tastings that weekend) but I know some are waiting for a list of wines so I went ahead and threw that together.
