This is an actual book with real recipes for making yummy biscuits and such for your favorite canine. There is nothing really wrong with that whole concept, except I found this in the Tobin James wine tasting room, which is this huge 10 million dollar building near Paso Robles. I guess that after tasting the list at the winery people may be just enough impaired to plunk down the $25 or so for their favorite cousin in Tucson with the new puppy and wrap it in a box made for fine wines, then ship it off as a surprise. But, having not sampled enough wine to become impaired, and not being too foolish, I just could not go that far.
I did, however, get Julie in the act of pretending to be a wine drinker. The Grey Goose was back in the hotel and this was the nearest alternative. We actually had a great day today, despite the cool and showery weather, driving around the wine country here. By no means was it what some would call "hubbubish" here, as the wintery weahter has kept the crowds thinned out. There are 85 wineries with tasting rooms in the area and we sampled just a few.
Today Julie and I played golf togehter for the first time. The public course in Ojai was a blast, and cheap, while the weather was just slightly different than the Oregon Coast. A beautiful day.
Ok, so we have moved south a little bit and I am in short sleeves, thanks in part to being near the marina which is sheltered from the northerly winds by the mesa. This feels different. And warmer.

I am killing time while waiting for Julie to finish packing her clothes and personal items. I like to have everything laid out so that I can organise the load into some logical sequence. This rarely ever really happens, like now. I would rather not have to unpack the entire truck just to get to items that we will need on the road, before we get to San Carlos. It makes both of us crazy if I hover around the process,. so here I am dinking away at a keyboard.
