Can I write this post in an hour? Why not? How about 51 minutes (yes, that’s where I am now – got distracted writing to illustrators and following beer people for my new business).

Everyone in the wine class wants to check out these posts, so I have to tailor them with that in mind. I asked a few friends of mine if I could write about how they were being douchey at a dinner I went to in Baltimore, and they said no. I ended up not writing [...]
