i apologise levi. i'd heard you had stopped participating in life and taken up commenting full time.

now i hear you've taken up a tenure track position at a research institution somewhere, i feel slightly ashamed to have doubted you. i'm glad really to hear you are making something meaningful out of your life.

what are you studying?

i say "broad shallow collections" like i personally think they are a bad thing. in context. it's explained at tedious length above. there won't be a quiz, but the dorky kids will know if you skipped parts.

personal opinions are allowed to differ. it helps in keeping teh sandboxes ruly.

or not.

which brings us to the question of the your carefully thought through contribution. you are, of course, free and encouraged to contribute these thoughts -- insofar as teh whims of teh politburo allow -- but in this context, one can only surmise the limits on their value and meaning .

i'll leave working that shit to others.

I can't help but feel that this is all some extended marketing ploy for Coravin, which brings the fatboys and Jays of this world together.

That's a decision everyone has to make for themselves. Personally, I prefer 3 bottles each of more things over case quantities of fewer things.

i guess that's why i find your thought about "wine" interesting, as opposed to your thoughts on any particular wine.

With people, I am utterly loyal to few, and like to observe how they age. But with wine, I guess I like to sleep around. There are just too may I'm curious about, even restricting to favorable geographies, even if they usually bug me too. The thought of drinking my favorites over and over again, even in lightly evolved form, bores me to tears. So, count me among those without the authority to say anything interesting about a particular wine, except (perhaps) from the generalizing pov of everywine, though perhaps this will change in my dotage, when I will become loyal to wines and start to betray my wife.

Speaking from dotage, I think your being optimistic.

There is this guy, we can leave his girth out of the description, who had a very clear goal in mind as regards his work and direction, and what he desired didn't so much happen, through perhaps no fault of his own. Maybe the machinations and jealousies of others did him in, maybe not. It is a difficult world for the focused. I feel that. But this guy maybe painted himself into a corner in that what he wanted was a specific result, and it didn't happen. What to do? In the wake of the loss, this person has twisted his substantial powers of humor, intellect, and persuasion towards telling other people that they too have failed and are failing in whatever they have tried to achieve, which is probably not something that they need to be reminded of.

Which is all sort of sad and probably not what anybody showed up to a wine board in hopes of encountering.

The world is as big as you allow it to be, with as many paths and directions.
