One of my life goals is to get some of my writing published. In this dream utopia of publishing, I've always imagined having one of my travelogues published in a magazine (National Geographic would be the pinnacle). Since everyone has to start somewhere, I signed up with MKE online to participate in their Threeview panel. The panel consists of over a hundred people; these people will meet a writer from the newspaper every so often at new restaurants. My job is to provide my opinion of the food; they pay for it. Pretty cool - huh? That's what I said...
Anyways, I visited JavaVino a couple weekends ago. I was expecting that a snippet of my summary would be used. In the actual newspaper, I have a few lines. At the online copy, my entire review is included! I was so excited when I picked up the latest copy. Read for yourselves below:

Nice work! You'll have to ask the professionals (I think Syd is the only one with something published in our group of friends), but I enjoyed it. I think it might have been that I could 'hear' you describe the place in your writing.
So when is the book coming out?
Not sure - I figure that I need a few more years of traveling before I can write a book. I need to get farther off the map to have a truly original experience...I'm not even sure if that exists anymore. I think that our brethren have left no space unexposed.
