#breathe

I can no more think of my own life without thinking of wine and wines and where they grew for me and why I drank them when I did and why I picked the grapes and where I opened the oldest procurable bottles, and all that, than I can remember living before I breathed. ↗

In 2008 I didn't take it all in enough. I was so wrapped up in just the competition that I missed what was going on around me.

I never go to funerals. To me a person is dead when he breathes for the last time. After that, your memories should be personal. ↗
