You wouldn’t dare leave us out here after only 7 more shows! You know you need us as much as we need you.
Let’s see, nothing better than cruising on my motorcycle on the back country roads on a warm sunny day on my way to my favorite Virginia winery.

Great show

QOTD (1) – I love all cherries, who cares if they’re hard or soft; they’re just different, but they’re still cherries and thus still delicious!

QOTD (2) – I love to fish, read, spend time in the outdoor, garden, cook and drink wine with friends.

It’d be a shame to see an end to the show, I hope you’re planning something cooler, like just changing the name from The Thunder Show to The Link It Up Show or some such. WLTV is such a great and entertaining place to learn about the wine world, it’d be a true shame.

Say it ain’t so!!!! Only 7 more to go???? Yikes!!!! From one teacher to another…You are GREAT at what you do…a true inspiration to countless viewers! While you don’t always “see” the long term changes you’ve made in the lives of others…Trust me you ARE changing the wine world far more than you could ever imagine! Just think what 400 more episodes could do for the masses…. After 16 years of teaching…it is only now that I am fully understanding the huge impact that I’ve had on the lives of former students. Anyhoot…keep on keepin’ on…we need you!!!

QOTD: Love to travel…drink wine…spend time with friends and family…most of all I Love my job teaching 5th graders! Oh…did I mention I love June, July and August, too…

The prospect of seven more shows leaves me seriously depressed. The Thunder Show is the best show, not just on the Internet, but also on TV (it is certainly better than anything on the Food Network).

The Run Rig might be Hollywood, but Garry needs at least a couple hundred more shows to hit the big time. Don’t prematurely retire on us. I enjoyed this show and the trip so far.
qotd: long distance running, wine, hanging with my recent fiance. Definitely in that order as well..
