Let me share some history as I greet the brilliantly-lit Napa morning by getting blotto: when I was invited to do a chap for Dusie my lovely Swiss publisher -- tossing in this parenthetical since I love the notion of having a Swiss publisher, I swiftly came up with an idea which resulted from scumbling from an earlier book. ❋ Unknown (2007)
