Had this already been posted?
If so, I did not see it.

No sir. I was just joking, it being a story about me.
Maybe I am not that funny. Sorry.
Thanks for posting the link.

Are you really a psychic sommelier?
Do you see dead wines?

You don't have to be such a special sommelier to go about encountering dead wines.

It occurs to me that you are very much in play these days.
I do hope that works out well for you - I'd wager it's fun.

We are all islanders here.

Same guy I have been, I think. And I still take the bottles to the recycling bin on my own. My wife did sew a new cloth coaster for use on the breakfast table. Looks pretty spiffy, I must say.

My wife has been into quilting for awhile now. She has been to some quilt shows in Tokyo and the pictures she has are pretty amazing. She has many items that she has made on her own. Several bags of different sizes, a tablecloth, coasters, the things you get hot pans out of the oven with and which I can't recall the name of right now, things like that.

Maybe quilting goes hand in hand with wine consumption; Diane is a quilter.

I liked the Levi-exposé just fine. Informative and inspiring, I'm starting to save up money so I can eat in whatever restaurant he's working in the next time I get to NYC. I'm not sure why the conversation detoured though coasters and quilting. I like the coasters just fine - Lieber & Stoller's lyrics for "Yakety-Yak" and "Poison Ivy" are the "Ave Maria" of their era, and despite lots of changes to the band's personnel over the years they've consistently put on a damn good show whenever I've seen them at the nearby Indian bingo emporium I frequent.
I'm a little confused about the "quilting" thing. I can't figure out if it's a noun or a verb. Clare Quilty was one of the least likable characters in "Lolita" (a book noticeably lacking in likable characters, I might add). In the film, at least we could build a little empathy for him because of Peter Sellers' performance, but in the book he's the sort of person that would have made a Jerry Sandusky or Jeffrey Daumer go "ewwwww, yuck" (okay, maybe Daumer thought he was cool, but Sandusky might not be deep enough to ponder the similarities and thus wouldn't like him). But turning Quilty into a verb (def: "to quilt") seems somewhat unsavory to anyone not on a "youth tour" to Thailand, but to each his own.
-Eden (might I take this opportunity to add that Hans Reisetbauer's Blue Gin is somewhere in the realm of LSD in its ability to expand one's consciousness. I like to think that this would be the gin that Florida Jim or Levi Dalton would drink, if they drank gin)

Plymouth, for me.
But always happy to try a new one.

I had my first taste of this a couple weeks ago. It had nearly no fragrance at all, nearly mute. But then you sip it and the trip starts. Amazing contrast and amazing in its own right.
