Realized if I wanted to get some time in a FOPAL, and I did, I needed to do it in the morning. So at 7:30 I summoned a Waymo and off I went to there. I put in 2:30 and made some progress — the great wall of boxes is now down to 11, despite several being added to it over the last couple of days.
That got me back in time to meet Joanne for lunch with Prue, who wanted to get info on our car-sharing arrangement for an article in the newsletter.
I had time after for a nap, and an hour of guitar practice. Then at 4:30 we had a talk on the Chilean wine industry. No, seriously. A resident, Bill Pflaum, has a daughter who manages an 8000-acre farm near Santiago, Chile, where over the past 25 years she has been creating a winery. She’s a grad of Stanford Business school and initially developed the plan to add wines to the family property while in school. Interesting talk.
