Nice oregon Pinot Noir open.substack.com/pub/mikenorm...

Been a crazy month with the house flood, finally got to a nice grilled steak and vino

So we put the Christmas tree up before Thanksgiving and two days after all out guest leave we have water pipe break that floods the entire first floor. So this year we had two firsts: first time tree was up before Thanksgiving and the first time we took the tree down before Christmas.

Here’s a taste of the preface shortened up a bit open.substack.com/pub/mikenorm...

Now that I reformatted the images I feel I need the shorten the chapters up a bit, still a work in progress
