Grapes of Wrappiness

You know you have picked lots of grapes when you start to fantasize about having grape-picking super powers.  Like unrotten grape honing vision and grape stem laser beam eyes and inspector gadget box holding arms.  And then you know you have picked even more grapes when the idea of having a grape-picking intern makes you laugh hysterically for no less than five minutes.  Hysterical laughing for no less than five minutes over the idea of having a grape-picking intern is actually one of the stages of grape picking exhaustion and I would tell you the other three but believe me you don’t want me to.  But when the grape-picking day is over, you have the 4 b’s to look forward to.  Bacon, back rubs, bon fires and business ideas.  Business ideas like bacon and pasta food carts.  Time stamp.  Other things you have to look forward to when the grape-picking day is over that don’t start with b are as many grapes as you would ever want to eat ever, authentic Indian meals made for you by Mewa (incidentally, he started feeding us after he caught us catching escargots for dinner one night), and log-like nights’ sleep.
