A Return to Regular Programming
I sit here Saturday morning a tired man, but a happy one. The project at my day job that has consumed me almost completely for so long has finally launched and while there is still a lot of post-mortem work to do, it feels good to look forward.
I’m also a happy man today because I’ll be spending a lot of time with Jackson both today and tomorrow. You see, his mommy has class all weekend, so I’m dipping my toes into the Mr. Mom pool. He’s a good boy, so I’m sure it will go swimmingly.
Lastly, I’m happy for the return to normalcy. I hope to be able to re-devote my evenings to all things vinocological, including this here blog. I’m very behind in writing up wines I’ve tasted, so you can expect a fair number of WTNs in coming weeks. I’m also planning a migration to Word Press that I hope will make LENNDEVOURS even better than it is today. If anyone has any tips for such a migration, please let me know.
The calm after the storm is always a time and place that I enjoy. It gives us time to reflect on what we’ve accomplished, take inventory and also ponder the future. Hopefully we’ll all enjoy that future together.
Congrats on finishing your project and good luck migrating to WordPress. I might be opting for it in the future — I have no tips to give you at this point. But I think it would great to hear others’ tips and your experience. Good luck.
In the meantime, enjoy the weekend, relax and (hopefully) ease into WBW 33…
Got the April NYCC shipment yesterday (I didn’t even know FedEx delivered on Saturday’s!). Nice selections..I don’t think you ever posted about them, and with how busy you were, doesn’t look like you got to insert a sheet with them. So tell us about the wines!
I second Marcus on some details on your switch to wordpress from typepad, the obvious one being the reasons for the switch.
Congrats on the project! Having spend five years at About.com in Product Management, I fully understand both the relief of the launch and the eminent postmortem effort that is required. I guess it’s a lot like having a child - the responsibility is just beginning, yet it must still feel so good.
And I see that you and I are paralleling our lives again - your project launch and our classroom launch:

Day One of the two day party went well and we’re looking forward to seeing the B&B, Winery and Restaurant owners today for Day Two. I’ll post about this all later, but we’re just so thrilled to have reached this milestone and look forward to truly contributing to the Long Island wine world.
Cheers!
