Greetings From Maui.  I take a pause from my hard earned vacation to share the following:

Gorillaz cover a Blur song in universe-breaking Damon Albarn convergence

You may return to your daily business.

That's something The Brand needs to explain to you.  If the weather or the pairing calls for a white, I lean to Sauv Blanc or Pinot Gris. I do not drink much Chardonnay at all.

The Brand, on the other hand, is known to buy Butter.  By the case.  I will pass your concerns on and let you know what she says.

While I have your attention - I have a bottle of Lost Abbey in my fridge - the red flower one.  I bought it for someone who didn't get around to drinking it.  How long will that keep?

nice, getting me in trouble with the missus.  i'll take her answer, and my lumps, as they come... ;D

ahh, red poppy... it will keep for years, even at room temps.  there are live bugs in there, they'll keep oxygen at bay.  i'll happily have it next time i'm over.

"Ha ha that article that’s so funny I love it. I will read it more fully during our next breast-feeding session and comment"

"those who know, know.   The 80s gave us many things that continue to define us and made us who we are today - the breakfast club, Ronald Reagan, Cold War, Berlin Wall, Live Aid concert, scrunchies, the proliferation of the personal computer, fast times at ridgemont high and the popularization of Chardonnay. You might pretend to ignore some of these things but you know you can’t!! It’s a deliciously nostalgic grape to revisit again and again - just like the 80s."

If it wasn't posted here, where on Earth would it have been posted where I would see it?

Plea deal in DC on Conspiracy, likely to change his stance and work with special investigation because his 4 months in jail have not been so good for him.  Interesting balance between waiting for his pardon vs cooperating and jeopardizing his pardon.  Conspiracy is a tough one to pardon though.

He was just messing with Meuller.  He was just buying time, now Mueller is having none of it and is taking back his plea agreement.
