At the Macari tasting lodge on Long Island, the man selling the 2005 Syrah begged me to cellar it for at least a year. Sorry: I opened it nine months later, on Easter Sunday, March 23, 2008. Here's my report: it's still as raw as a fresh-sawn barn board. But I like it very much. There's something charming here. Red wines go to the East Coast of the United States to die, it's said. But people keep trying to break the curse. Macari Syrah: very personable.
(1) America can still be right, though we've been wrong many times. (2) Management jargon is depleted language. (3) The time for blue shoes is upon us. We live in a blue shoe age. (4) It's not pornography. It's better.
I'm hoping for the first female either VP or Prez standing proudly beside the first AA VP or Prez. Either one, either spot. Let's just break the mold and grab some respect from the world again.
What do I mean by being "professionally competent"?
Or being the best.
I never guess. And I know what I don't know. And what I do know is deep and subtle. And if this clearly & admittedly arrogant self-evaluation is true at least 75% of the time, let's say, I'll do my clients proud. Promise.
Are you a typo? Aren't we all? Say something, anything. And wear it proudly in your choice of styles: female, male, child, maybe even dog.
