This month’s wine writing challenge was picked by…well, me! As last month’s winner for my glass-shattering tales in my Winestory, I got the honor of picking this month’s theme: OBSCURE. For full disclosure, Jeff helped me pick OBSCURE–and he was right, it was the word I was looking for in my quest to hear about the often-forgotten … Continue reading MWWC #30: Obscure

We met Uncle Herb on a rainy day at Pearl Harbor (more about that later). He was at home on leave when Japan attacked, quickly reporting for duty when the attack started. He has a great memoir, Counting My Blessings, that details his life and what it was like being a soldier who survived the … Continue reading Uncle Herb
