Pirate or Sommelier…..What’s the Difference?

          For a bit of levity as we approach the new year and reflect on the old……what went well, what did we learn and what do we resolve to change, I think back on one of my 2011 New Year’s resolutions: to go to sommelier school.  When I shared my vision with my three teenagers, one wanted to know why I would want to go to school to learn how to be a (Somalian) pirate.  When I thought about it, I realized he had a point…after all, isn’t the pirate mantra “Yo ho ho and  a bottle of rum?”

          I hope 2012 brings the joy of dreams fulfilled.
