“I feel afraid when I try to think how old it is. It descends from the clouds and arises from the soil simultaneously, it exudes from wood work; it perspires from stone. Much more than the visible world is imaged by it. It is spectral, mysterious, inexplicable. Strong walls and stout doors can not keep it from entering; windows and doors can not exclude it. You might as well try to lock out a ghost.”

A work in progress...
Juggling clubs with wrist guards on is a little awkward, but the pads are non-negotiable given my job as a percussionist.

Getting ready for an online tasting with @bouchaine_vineyards
We don’t have a decanter, so I figured I’d try getting the wines moving a bit with some Bach before we sip.
