You should really consider recycling some older gems. Takes no time. Feeds the beast. C'mon, you've only made - what - one lousy comeback? Michael Jordan had six or seven. Grow some hair, Hosemaster. Or find a little wannabe hosette, to be your intern, and post up the great old stuff we new-timers missed out on. Post one a month fer chrissake.

I have spent the last year screaming at the top of my lungs about the vapid screed foisted upon us by the democratic republic of wine blogging. Weak and with all my facebook twitter-twating friends abandoning me, I had given up. I was ready to walk away and let freedom ring. That is until I found your postings. Finally, a real voice among cackles and screeches.<br />Your are the Colbert of the wine illiterati. Your tune so sharp and the tempo a dirge.<br />What can we do to bring you back? Pay your rent? Cook you a meal or two…. <br />You are the therapist I shall not want. <br />In the end, when you think about it, what’s so hard about writing a wine blog? You have always pointed out how easy it really is. Maybe I should start blogging about things a wish I knew…like cupcakes and bbq. Dear Mr. Ron, don’t make us fill the void.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18278568443798814921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6745003136564123305.post-65193069679717934042010-03-22T21:17:00.269-07:002010-03-22T21:17:00.269-07:00SADNESSSSSS!!!!!!!!

The page opens and each time I feel that little speed up of my heart, the way it thumps away hoping I will see a new post name or picture and....hiatus. It's like having Tiny standing on my chest each time...ouch.<br /><br />If I thought for one second interviewing HoseMaster would bring him back I would do it, hell I'd do a 6 part series if I thought it would help but alas, it won't. He needs this, needs to say farewell and I have no choice but to let him go....<br /><br />Now I'm going to say it too, "Go home kids. Nothing more to see here" but I will add, "When you speak of him remember the hours he spent thinking of Us and trying to make Us laugh. Can't think of any greater gift really...."Samantha Duganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05214278596698698245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6745003136564123305.post-13400377014512344882010-03-19T15:39:07.294-07:002010-03-19T15:39:07.294-07:00Or maybe you're "on a break" like Ro...Or maybe you're "on a break" like Ross and Rachel?

I'm touched.<br /><br />I'm not the HoseMaster in real life. But in real life I need a break from him. As you can imagine, he's a real jerk to live with. I won't miss him at all.<br /><br />Now, go on, get out of here, you kids. Nothing to see here, no lonely barking poodles.
