It was nice to wake up at home as I expected it would be. And to be back into some routines, as annoying as they can be (am squats just suck) it feels like an accomplishment to complete them. The workday was decent, in fact I made significant progress on my effort to take over the automation of the cultivate reporting. What I'm doing won't be fully automated, but provided we can get the data we need consistently pulled and imported, it's a huge step in the right direction and will take the guesswork and manual aspect off the table. It's a bit disappointing, to be honest, to see how this has been implemented by others. I would have expected a far greater set of skills and initiative around resolving the problem. It's not rocket science, it's formulas and linked charts. Linda's sister reached out wanting to continue the discussion about the house and I pretty much said we should just get lawyers talking. It's past a point of being reasonable. It's absurd, frankly. The house is mine, outright, and that she's apparently spent a chunk of time trying to pursue some angles related to ensuring the kids get 1/2 of it (which they will and then some) is insulting. I told Tommy the move was on hold and he called her and told her he was no longer looking to dispute my rights to the house. She called Lauren and she said the same. It sounds like she's going to let it go. I ran the new wine and a good chunk of our Matson inventory over to Panorama and into the wine cellar. It's pretty packed now and I still have more to manage. We're going to give some away to friends, like if we go to dinner we'll bring three bottles not one, expecting to leave one for their use another time. The more we thin out the more I look forward to closing off club memberships and starting to just explore options with less of a focus on long-term storage and maturation. The GOBM and Costco and Inotecha options are all wonderful without having to keep 36 bottles stored for a few years in order to be at their best. It's time to start enjoying. That being said it was a nice break today to not have wine after 4 days of tasting. We accepted a dinner party invitation and we're going to bail on the "date night" thing in Los Gatos. It's not what I was thinking it might be, I don't want to taste wines and sample food, I don't want to participate in blind auctions or raffles, I just want to connect with my friends over dinner and a simple glass. So that's our night tomorrow. I'll be working more tomorrow on the slides, continuing to put the framework in place while working around the data constraints.
