Balmoral Syrah, 2004, Bottle No. 45088

New approach this year, what with the bottle of red instead of something more potent.  And yet Talisker is what it ends with anyhow.  Pretty controlled and relaxing night, even if one eye was always on the clock.  The only company earlier being Ms. G, and how that conversation goes remains open.  I feel like there is only one ending, and so that's the reason for avoiding focus on it, but you never can tell.  The whole thing is surprising enough in itself, maybe it will continue...

In the interim, there is just the manifesto: the wagon, the exercise, the cooking, the online shit.  Por que no start, and make a beginning?  Something new, anyway, and why care what anyone thinks, how it turns out?  Just... try.  And see what happens.  When 2011 ended, you'd have had a hard time predicting you would be right here.  So let's see what you've got 2013.  Just don't be boring is all I ask.
