The Wine Roads of Texas... blog

www.thewineroadsoftexas.com

It's just another blog in the universe of information highways. But, man, I want to use it, do something with it, have it as an excuse to meet with people, do interviews, take pictures, feed fuel to my curiosity.

Because I am learning that really is one of my greatest motivations in life: curiosity. I got in trouble repeatedly as a kid for wandering off- across the alley to pick pecans, across the street to look at a neighbor's yard, in the grocery store to, I dunno, check the green beans or something. Then academically, and even in my personal life, picking a topic and needling the heck out of it, trying to find out what it's made of. And doing all these things on impulse with relatively quick results. It seems like this blog will be the perfect format for this energy- short entries based on a chunk of research, then the chance to move onto the next spark of mystery.

If you feel so inclined, please click above and, if you are really feeling generous, please choose to "follow". It would be great to have you there.

My curiosity has gotten the best of me time and time again. From early in life, I've always been in trouble and it is from my many mistakes, that I've learned best. They say, "Curiosity killed the cat." but hey...it's got nine lives. My curiosity has placed me squarely into a strange and unique position, whereas, I don't know where to go? I've tried going right, I've tried going left, I've tried going wrong and I've tried everything in between. Yet and still, my curiosity is still getting the best of me. I'm curious if I can pull off this major plan that seems larger than I am. I'm concerned that I might need a writer's help. However, where do I find such a unique and beautiful creature? One with a background in Religious studies and an education similar to my own. Apparently, she's in Austin. :) Hmmmm, I'm curious like the Midnight Star song of the same name....
