It was because I thought that the loss of my day job would have a direct impact on my podcast and this blog. So it is with great pleasure that I announce my return to full employment as Director of Marketing for Goosecross Cellars in Yountville, CA. “But don’t you live in the Twin Citiesâ€Â?, you ask? The answer is yes and I’ll remain living here. If you would have said I would be working for a winery in the Napa Valley in January, I would have thought you were crazy, but this is indeed how things worked out.

If your podcast sucked I might be a little worried about you. But your site and your insights are a lot of fun to listen to. I'm a neophyte when it comes to wine, but I've learned a lot from you. I travel to Europe a lot and enjoy listening to your podcast in the morning on Thursday while I run on the treadmill. Can't do without it, so even if it is about 2 Buck Chuck, keep it coming. Someone who has so much passion in life (and for the right things) can only land on his feet. I'll look forward to the day you look back on this and laugh. You got to admit, life is a pretty good thing anyway you slice it. Dude. Cowboy up. If your podcast sucked I might be a little worried about you.

I went through job loss a few years ago and it was mighty difficult. Yet, I got through it and I'm now in a much better place (perhaps not financially, but personally - much better).

I've been in your shoes of suddenly losing a job (albeit that was 20 years ago), but I know it is a hard experience. You have the right attitude, though--today starts a new chapter in life. Be well and keep your chin up! Tim –
