Sorry for the Blog Silence
I know that it's been almost a week since I last posted anything here, but there's a good reason. Not a fun reason, but a good reason. I hurt my back last week and I'm still in quite a bit of pain, so sitting at a computer for longer than 20 minutes is torture.
It's finally starting to feel better, and isn't anything serious (no disc problems) and I'm hoping to be back to work and to blogging on Thursday.
There's a lot that I'll have to catch up on here, including:
- WBW #36 roundup
- A new "Local with Local" recipe and wine pairing
- Some Long Island wine country mentions in the news
- My thoughts on the results from the 2007 New York Wine & Food Classic
In the meantime, I'll be resting and trying to get vertical again.
YIKES! Having had a major back sprain in college, I can totally sympathize! Feel better soon.

It looks like there's something wrong with your butt in that picture, not your back :)

Aw, dude. Age is startin' to catch up with all of us. How did that happen??
Take care of yourself. We'll be here when you get back. (No pun intended)

Two words...Vicodin and Champagne. Hope you feel better.

I knackered my back at christmas last year and was off work for two weeks. Id only been back at work for less than a fortnight when I fell down a flight of stairs and buggered it up again (as well as bruising my entire ass cheek!). I know your pain - a hot water bottle rested against the area of pain helped me as did industrial strength co-codamols!! Hope you feel well soon!!

Lenn: Take your time getting well! I am a "retired" competitive ballroom dancer. I retired because I screwed up my back royally. Instead of listening to the pain, I danced through it and ended up with surgery. So relax with some heating pads and/or ice packs, and if you're not on painkillers, then a nice Cabernet (I also learned they don't work well together), and we'll happily wait until you feel better.
Cheers!

I hope you feel better soon. I know the pain you're going through all too well. I've thrown my back out a number of times and it is no fun.

Oh no! Hope you are feeling better.
