Working Hard...or Hardly Working?

Last week I got to participate in a Santiago Economic/Political Section tradition--the offsite. We headed out to the rarefied Errazuriz vineyard about 1 1/2 hours from Santiago for a serious discussion about the next year's goals and how the section is working, followed by fun: a tour of the vineyard, winetasting, and fabulous lunch.

It's a tough job, but someone's got to do it.
