A bit of getting lost and a bit of driving on country roads without a headlight…

Tonight went to some wine tasting/sagra at Massa castle…Got a bit lost by going to CastelloNuevo G. instead of Massa Castle…I’ve no idea what the G. in CastelloNuovo G. stands for, but it’s not the same thing… 🙂 I rock!!!

: uhhhh….this is what I look like when I’m sleeping…

: This is what it looks like when you driving to CastelloNuevo G.

: Lost in the hills of Tuscany…

: still lost….

: Leo and Andrea…

: AAAaaaannd…Massese is not Italian….

: I don’t know what it’s called, but have I ever said Italian food is pretty OK…

: raw beef!!!! Tasty!!!

: …and here we have not JUST raw…but jiggly and kind of weird 🙂 I ate it anyways…

There is no station in life…

I’ve heard that phrase for years without ever really understanding what it meant. I guess it’s possible I’ve heard it as “Find your station in life”. I prefer to think that there is no station…
Anyway, This isn’t about the phrase per se, but about a moment when you finally understand something you thought you knew isn’t quite what you knew.

And unrelated…a story on spiraling health care costs for animals:
