I AM A MEDIA WHORE

There I said it - it's all out in the open. Any chance I get to be on TV, in the paper, on out here in cyberspace - BAM! There I am. No fear, I just love it. Maybe it has something to do with not getting enough attention as a kid, or being a closet star junkie, I don't know, but thanks to Lisa Mattson of Wilson Daniels, and Susan Sueiro of Gundlach Bundschu for asking me to contribute a poem to help kick of Gun-Bun's 151st Anniversary Poetry Contest. For those of you who don't know, I aspire to be the next Bukowski, yet without all the mistresses and hangovers, and Lisa and Susan asked me to submit a poem to help them kickstart this commemorative event. Rules were simple, a 151-word poem on what wine means to you.

Check out my poem, "Drunk In The Memory Garden," at http://www.blogschu.com/151/guest-poems.html. And feel free to submit your own paean to the grape. Help Gun-Bun celebrate 151 years of making great wine and riding shotgun on this great journey called Life.
