Wow, what a month it has been. I was fortunate enough to return to the small hamlet town of Lebarthe-Bleys which I visited last year in the Southern region of France. A week and a half of food and wine education at a very personal level (8 guests with a private sommelier) was just what I needed to escape the unending rain and heat carousel that Boston had fallen prey to this summer. If you are interested in the photos, you may want to check out their website here.

I have also moved in to my new place in Allston, which is much more lively than my previous digs. Surely the combination of the new location, a heavily rockin' fall music schedule, and arguably New England's greatest season just around the corner will pump major energy into my life. I have so many things to be excited for, including the release of Tiny Whale's record! They are finishing up the mixes and should be sent to the presses in time for a late October/ early November record release.

Unfortunately, I have had many computer and Internet obstacles since the move to the new house which is partly responsible for my recent lack of updates. Once I have talked with enough technicians and phone banks in India I may be able to have steady internet and computing capabilities (ie. better and more frequent updates).
