Wine with Friends
The first two days of our trip to Walla Walla, Washington, it was just my husband and me. While we enjoyed each other's company and sampling wonderful wines and chatting with the winemakers and tasting room staff, there was something missing. In the past our wine tasting excursions have always included at least one other couple --- and, often, a whole group of us --- whom we've known for decades and with whom we've shared life's ups and downs along with some great meals and memorable bottles of wine. So we headed out on Saturday with great excitement, knowing we'd be spending the day with longtime friends we had only seen once in person since 2019.

United Airlines First to Purchase Sustainable Aviation Fuel for ORD
Chicago O’Hare International Airport will soon receive sustainable aviation fuel, all thanks to United Airlines, which became the first airline to purchase SAF for use at the airport, one of the largest in the United States. Neste, a producer of SAF, will provide up to 1 million gallons of its Neste MY Sustainable Aviation Fuel. The first supply arrived in August.
A Positive Experience
Over the past few weeks I've written about my experience traveling out of state to visit one of our favorite wine regions for a scaled-back version of our annual trek there to attend Fall Release events in Walla Walla, Washington (here, here and here). In this time of COVID, we undertook the trip with great caution and a bit of trepidation, for at the beginning of November infection rates were starting to rise. Here in the Pacific Northwest they are lower than in most other parts of the country, and we knew the wineries had undertaken many procedures to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience. And while we certainly benefited from the chance to travel outside our bubble and enjoy good food and wine, we could see how much it meant to those businesses we visited that they could serve us.
