That laundry in Napa supposedly delivers--have never been.
CD, kids aren't grown yet, but the older one sure wants to be--and begins to look and act like it (girls do that earlier, I think). She's been away for two weeks and has loved every minute of it, near as we can tell. Starts high school in the fall. The younger is in the waning months of the golden years. He still likes us best, but probably not for long (at least not openly). Having them both out of the house a week ago was kinda fun. Turns out SFIrish and I like each other's company. And we were happy to pick him up, and we're anxiously awaiting her return tonight. We're in no hurry to push them out, but out they will go when it's time. Good kids--more important: good people.
Two working days until a two-week vacation for me. I'll have to do a little work while I'm gone, but not a lot (I hope). Office is pretty mellow this week, and will close early tomorrow, which is nice.
As for Sonoma: we like it more than Napa. It feels a little less touristy, we like the natural beauty more, and we consistently like the wine there (even though cabs are more our thing and Napa has the "better" cabs). Viticulture is a fascinating thing, and Sonoma and Napa right next to each other makes for an interesting contrast. And being an hour or less (if you're lucky with traffic) from San Francisco makes it an easier trip than a lot of visitors realize.
