April Fool’s Wine

April Fool’s!!  I have no post for today except to say that I have not as much Tommolo Montepulciano d’Abruzzo as I did earlier on March 31, 2011.  And I feel like I might throw up.

In related news, I might have a post for April 2, 2011 based on the amount of Tommolo Montepulciano d’Abruzzo I drank March 31, 2011 and the fact that I found a beautiful piece of music called The Wolves and The Ravens by Rogue Valley.

At the end of the four album saga of the seasons, this Minneapolis band (Chris Koza) writes, “In the morning by the sea/as the fog clears from the sand/I have no money in my hand/I have no home, I have no land//But it doesn’t trouble me/as I lay beside the fire/I am easy to inspire/there is little I require//I wasn’t yours and you weren’t mine/Though I’ve wished from time to time/we had found a common ground/Your voice was such a welcome sound/How the emptiness would fill/with the waves and with your song/People find where they belong/or keep on//Through the never ending maze/where the way is seldom clear/there is no map or compass near/I drive a ship I cannot steer/through the bleak and early morn/where a stronger will is sworn/where the moments move so slow/and seem to never let you go//When my hands are old and ache/and my memory flickers dim/and my bones don’t hold my skin/there’s no place I haven’t been/I recall the days were few/that is all that I can do/I feel the carvings in the tree/that gives shade for you and me.“
