I can’t smile without them…
March 24, 2012
We took these Polaroids this morning as I was packing and getting ready to leave for Europe.
I wept in the parking lot at the airport when I kissed them goodbye and when the TSA agent asked me if she could go to Venice in my place, I couldn’t hold back the tears.
Everyone says that you can’t know what it’s like to be a parent until you become one and that it changes your life in ways you simply can’t imagine…
No one ever told me about the heartbreak… I just can’t smile without them…
You know I can’t smile without you
I can’t smile without you
I can’t laugh and I can’t sing
I’m finding it hard to do anything
You see I feel sad when you’re sad
I feel glad when you’re glad
If you only knew what I’m going through
I just can’t smile without you
You came along just like a song
And brightened my day
Who would of believed that you where part of a dream
Now it all seems light years away
And now you know I can’t smile without you
I can’t smile without you
I can’t laugh and I can’t sing
I’m finding it hard to do anything
You see I feel sad when your sad
I feel glad when you’re glad
If you only knew what I’m going through
I just can’t smile
Now some people say happiness takes so very long to find
Well, I’m finding it hard leaving your love behind me

how sweet it is (to be loved by her)
March 13, 2012
Lil’ Georgia P was three months old yesterday (thirteen weeks) and she’s not so little anymore!
She’s starting to sit up straight and to turn her head side to side. And man, she loves to talk! It’s just baby talk but she just goes on and on as if she’s carefully explaining something very important…
I’m on the road today in Houston. I never really knew what loneliness was until I had to be separated from my femminucce. But Tracie P takes lots of photos (like this one) and sends them to me throughout the day.
How sweet it is to be loved by her…

she’s the one
March 9, 2012From the department of “yes, last night while Tracie P ate her dinner, I sang my daughter A Chorus Line in its entirety and she LOVED it”…
One singular sensation
Every little step she takes.
One thrilling combination
Every move that she makes.
One smile and suddenly nobody else will do.
You know you’ll never be lonely with you know who.
One moment in her presence
And you can forget the rest.
For the girl is second best
To none,
Son.
Ooooh! Sigh! Give her your attention.
Do… I… really have to mention?
She’s the…
She’s the…
She’s the…
One!

Home, where my love lies waiting
March 4, 2012So glad to be heading home today…
Homeward bound
Home, where my thought’s escaping
Home, where my music’s playing
Home, where my love lies waiting
Silently for me

California sunset (heading back to Austin), 2010 Tempier, 2006 Vodopivec
February 18, 2012
Our trip to California has come to an end. Today we head back to Texas…
We’ve had a lot to celebrate out here in the land where I grew up: Georgia P met her grandma Judy and her Parzen cousins, my band Nous Non Plus had a super fun mini-tour, and it was great to get back to work at Sotto in Los Angeles (where I’ll be launching a new wine list early next month).
Last night, together with Jayne, Jon, and daughter Romy, we celebrated our BFF Yelenosky’s umpteenth award as “best Southern California sales person 2011″ for Southern Wine and Spirits. Yele is the sweetest guy and the bestest friend and we love him a lot. Mazel tov, Yele! You rock…
To commemorate the occasion and our trip Jayne and Jon opened one of our favorite wines from their awesome list at Jaynes Gastropub, the 2010 Tempier Bandol Rosé. Still so young and tannic but drinking gorgeously… so fresh and just slightly oxidative… delicious…
Yele treated our party to a bottle of 2006 Vitovska by Vodopivec, one of my favorite wines in the world. So tannic and so glorious and with so many layers of dried fruit and nutty nuance… An unforgettable treat for us…
And little Georgia held her daddy’s hand all through dinner… She’s such a miracle and we love her so much.
Arrivederci, California! We’ll miss you!
