First, we moved on the first of September, just a couple of weeks before our vacation to London and Sicily. I dread moving (I know many of you can relate). However, the new place is fantastic and Susie and I are glad we made the decision. We are now trying to get settled in. I have to find a new spot to shoot my YouTube episodes. I loved my studio in the other place, but that is no more. As a result, I haven&#8217;t put out any content for a few months&#8230;.It&#8217;s time to start up again. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>   Our trip to London and Italy was phenomenal. I will say again and again that I am thankful to be married to someone great to travel with. Susie is an awesome trip planner and we had an awesome time. London was packed with action. We went to a play, a jazz club and a party at one of Susie&#8217;s friend&#8217;s place, all in the span of five days. Two nights were close to midnight before we landed at our home away from home in London, where we stayed with Susie&#8217;s best friend (I like her a lot too). On our last day there, we went to a very nice brunch in the heart of London. After saying our goodbyes, we went to Maidenhead, closer to Heathrow Airport, to spend a little time with Susie&#8217;s sister and niece. It was nice to see them again. Then, it was off to Sicily, a place Susie and I had never been to; we were excited. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>   Sicily will be the subject of my next Bits &amp; Bobs. I will mention that one grape caught my attention while we were in Sicily. It will be the focus of my next YouTube episode, which I hope to get out there this week. I think I will have to shoot it in the barn or our living room. Weather permitting, I will record it outside. I will have a spot to set up a studio in about three weeks. In the meantime, I will do what I have to do. Going this long without putting content out there on my channel is very frustrating. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>   The aforementioned grape caught my attention, because of its variation in flavor profile each time I ordered it at a restaurant. It&#8217;s a grape I am quite familiar with, but I guess I never had so many different ones in such a short span of time that I noticed that about it. I will hold you in suspense until I get that episode out there. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cheers!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Stan The Wine Man<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>   <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The past three months have been insanely busy.
