Your lack of commercial success in comed...Dear HMW,<br />Your lack of commercial success in comedy writing is our gift.

Many thanks for your thoughtful...Hosemaster, Sir, <br /><br />Many thanks for your thoughtful (as always) and touching post on the anniversary of a day when the world changed. <br /><br />We live in a world of instant gratification and a "me first" society. <br />In a certain way, September 11th had an impact on the wine world...not so many people buy wine for <i>"laying away"</i> or <i>"cellaring," </i> since one never knows what tomorrow will bring.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing your insights.<br /><br />ANONYMOUS IAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6745003136564123305.post-63373362396895990642009-09-11T09:52:36.412-07:002009-09-11T09:52:36.412-07:00Wonderful post, HMW.

Chris doesn't know it, but he's one of my favorite wine people simply because of his enthusiasm when I ask him for a recommendation. I didn't know you were involved with the shop - small world.<br /><br />I really loved this post.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05598318743715048342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6745003136564123305.post-81523856847382721692009-09-11T09:24:10.202-07:002009-09-11T09:24:10.202-07:00A lovely post.

You stomp around, poke fun and spill your wit and venom on everyone, (no one is safe, not even me as your last post can attest) all of it in the name of humor and those of us that read you are aware that none of it is meant to hurt anyone which spins what might have stung into chuckles, giggles and full on laughter. That is your gift, your talent and what makes you stand out in a sea of mediocrity. I am humbled by your talent, inspired by your voice and grateful for the laughter.<br /><br />This was a beautiful tribute to things that you love, I feel honored to have read it. It feels a little like peeking behind the curtain and seeing that the great and powerful OZ is just a guy...a guy with a very big heart that like the rest of us, longs to be felt and understood. I not only understand you, I adore you.<br /><br />I was watching MSNBC and the replay of this day 8 years ago while I read this piece, your words filling my heart with images flashing on the tv behind my laptop screen...you Ron are now my connection to this tragic day. <br /><br />Thank you for sharing this, thank you for the peek behind the curtain and thank you for being able to articulate so beautifully, your connection.<br /><br />My own words have left me, feel like I am babbling, (well guess there is nothing new there) I love you Kid, you moved me.Samantha Duganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05214278596698698245noreply@blogger.com
