I loved every single line of this blog...but especially #85...did I have any influence on that one?? After this entry, David and I are more determined than ever to get a chance to hang out with you...you have no idea of the possibilities that exist.

re the wine thing. try wine without sulfides/fates - organic wines especially. i have that problem to, as well as sulfer farts of nastiness, and have found that good wine without these nasty preservatives are totally and completely drinkable.
