Green Energy Goes Looking for an Angle, Without Apparent Success

A dear friend invited me to go wine tasting this weekend with some of his buddies, and I accepted, even though I’m anything but a connoisseur. Some of the people in the group asked me a few times during our time together: “What are you going to write on your blog about this, Craig?”

“Good question!” I’d laugh in response. “I’m still developing the angle on it. We’re kind of near Sacramento, so maybe something on state government. And hey, how about this: there are chemical fertilizers and insecticides in all but organic wine. How about that? Does organic taste better?”

“Sorry, no,” came the unanimous response.

At the end of the day, it’s possible that there really is no angle here, and I’ll have to content myself with having spent three days with no purpose other than hanging out with some very cool people, and doing a bit more reading than I otherwise would have accomplished in the same period.  Took a great hike with our host, a retired attorney who’s one of the smartest people I’ve ever met. Could have been a lot worse.
