It's easy to get lost in inaction and challenging to find my way back. Inaction is more about making the time instead of being consumed with activities that are occasionally less rewarding in the long run. I don't even know now when my last journal entry took place. A week or two tops, but that's quite a chasm from my usual routine. It's been a relatively good time. We went to Paso Robles Monday-Thursday. Matt B joined us Tuesday; spending time together was a rewarding time. It made for a refreshing change of pace and was reminiscent of so many historical "Big Dogs" outings. We went to Cass, Fabelist and Opolo wineries, Morro Rock, and antique shopping, and relaxed at 237 17th with the dogs. Tomy is in Tahoe this weekend. I was immersed all day in Tikoji tastes and building resentment while recognizing my own making. I am working to ease out by making things easier for others. I have mentioned this before. We watched "Here" and found it unrewarding yet engaging and thought-provoking. Mark got the bike while we were away, and I am glad it's being used. I roasted some lovely dark for Steve and Diana to be couriered by Malt next week. GNO got weird due to some technical issues and negative assumptions by one of the participants. I'm either insensitive or too sensitive. I have been off-pattern with my habits and need to restore them. I am getting back on it now. Including this entry, I have gained so much by doing this for some years, and it's been worth prioritizing.
