Welcome to the fourteenth installment of my short story collection I have titled, "A Man of Letters." The stories in this collection are all in the form of letters or about letters. We have a two stories this week that I think you will enjoy!

Story 19….Grape testing in Napa, Day minus one. We had a whole trip’s experience in one day ---and we hadn’t sampled one drop from the vineyards yet. Thinking that at my age I knew nothing about text messaging was the kicker.

Story 20…The road forked years later. We all come to forks in our roads from time to time. I made decisions “at the fork” three times early with my eyes tightly shut. Here are the results of those decisions and one I made with my eyes wide open many years later. Am I just lucky?

I encourage you to provide feedback on this story or any of the earlier shorts by email at [email protected] or by voicemail at 1 206 339 5456.
