The weather continued to be difficult yesterday and only cleared up just before sunset, which turned out to be stunning. It was cold and extremely windy with a constant drizzle, so the entire family decided to go out for ice cream. Tough us English.

Nasty Asti.

Well, what do you expect serving a Piemontese wine with a Campanian dish?
I'm partial to Barbera D'Alba over Barbera D'Asti.
Sounds like you are enjoying your annual romp home. Good for you.
I just got a new book deal...good for me.
Tomasso: Yes, I am enjoying my visit home, even if the weather is insane.
Congratulations on the new book deal. What is the subject matter this time?
The wonderful story of how the Finger Lakes region was formed geologically and then agriculturally (and industrially).
Contract not signed yet, so the deal is not alive yet either.
Tomasso: Sounds interesting, glaciation is great, but I'm still waiting for the Taylor book.
VG:
The Taylor book is scheduled for January release, I think.
In fact, if the schedule for each book holds, this new one is likely to be published before Taylor.
I have no idea how it all works. Book publishing is one of the most indecipherable processes ever devised.
Tomasso: But wasn't the original publishing date for 'Taylor' January 2013?
No, VG, that was the deadline for me to submit the Taylor manuscript to the publisher, which I met.
It takes about a year to get a book edited and printed. After three years of proposing and then writing the book, I will have invested four years in Taylor.
Hmm, that's from the Araldica co-op, just around the corner from here. Normally decent kit (Waitrose, Sainsbury's etc). Shame.
Ron: Nice to hear from you.
This was probably just a bad bottle...it happens.
