I have been thinking a lot lately about the incredible waste of time represented by "social media". While I have not yet reached the ultimate goal of no cellphone or perhaps a "dumb" phone, a return to the old blog and a more mindful online interaction is perhaps a good first step. I have finally been able to divest myself of the burden of Facebook (I may still forward posts there and maintain desktop interaction with friends and family that I would not otherwise be able to stay in touch with) and am planning further online self-emancipations. But this old blog has always been a source of enjoyment and a meaningful way of sharing thoughts, experiences, information, and intellectually stimulating stories, etc. from the internet. The internet does, after all, provide an incredible resource when used responsibly. As always, this is more a series of spontaneous, informal pensées than a polished essay, but at least it won't be a "status update" (thinking about it, what a ridiculous term that is). So, there it is. In the words of Frost, "back out of all this now too much for us"...

Return to the Aldi Wine Tour
This evening we return to the Aldi Spanish wine tour with a 2011 Conde Roble Rioja Reserva. Pungent and raw, this selection displays a strong constitution. It pairs well with grilled red meats, roasted lamb and chicken and hard cheeses. Intense red fruit flavors of black currant and cherry are complemented with a heady suggestion of old oak casks nested in stone barns on the northern Spanish plains. $6.99 Aldi.
Reading the Intelligible City
