Damn! Am I going to have to give up Bull Durham?

Anomie, please email me...I think I have your email address but can't locate it on my list!

Welcome, Clay--you'll find your posts here Message # 25161 in thread 147. The Cafe's conversation about smoking is about tobacco, not marijuana. If you're a new poster, please introduce yourself to us.

Spring forward...Fall backward! This year, I have no clock handles to advance.

It's another three weeks before l'heure d'été in France.

Happy birthday, goodwinejoe!

25170. judithathome - 3/11/2009 8:09:20 PM

And a very Happy Birthday to YOU, Magos! You may be a year older but like fine wine, just keep improving with age.

Is it still too cold out to have a night out on the town in celebration?

25171. magoseph - 3/12/2009 3:39:07 AM

Thanks, Judith--yes, weather is vicious--we're getting the end of what's happening now in Minnesota.

Is the Mote Café going to stay open only until your story in Mote Fiction is finished, Ali?

25173. judithathome - 3/13/2009 6:37:29 PM

Had to cancel my hair cut today...I am still weak as a cat from the food poisoning that hit me Sunday.

25174. alistairConnor - 3/13/2009 11:10:36 PM

Well, what do you think Mago? Am I scaring away the trade?

I need to accelerate the pace. And finish the damn thing. Then they will come back...

25175. alistairConnor - 3/13/2009 11:12:24 PM

Take care Judith...

25176. alistairConnor - 3/16/2009 4:17:21 AM

Well! That'll surely bring them back...
... or drive them away...

25177. judithathome - 3/16/2009 4:31:15 AM

Who, exacrly, is them?

Went out tonight for the first time this week...to an Italian restaurant. Excellent spaghetti with alio/aglio sauce and spinach/mushroom mix.

Alistair, we had a South African red...a Cabernet Sauvignon/Shiraz blend 2002...it was delicious. I made a joke about it's being an "apartied" wine. Not very funny to anyone but me but the label sounded very "Boer-ish".

25178. judithathome - 3/16/2009 4:32:34 AM

"exactly"...too much of that excellent vino, evidently.

25179. magoseph - 3/16/2009 1:27:13 PM

Well, what do you think Mago? Am I scaring away the trade?

Ali, that's not what I mean--I'm very afraid that you're about to close The Mote and you'll forget me. I can't have a chagrin d'amour just now--je me fais vielle, tu sais.

25180. alistairconnor - 3/16/2009 4:19:22 PM

Ne t'en fais pas Mago! The site is not going away! It's being hosted from New Zealand, and I gave the host three dozen fine (organic French) wines in January, that'll pay the rent for a little while... We won't let you down. It just gets a bit slow sometimes... it's happened before, it'll happen again.

25181. magoseph - 3/20/2009 1:59:26 PM

Ali, ask me anything.

25182. alistairconnor - 3/20/2009 3:37:05 PM

I'm missing all that excellent wine I was drinking in NZ over the Christmas holidays...
The stuff I drink at home is often relatively rough and rustic, I don't have much of a budget for it.
My girlfriend bought some champagne the other day, we drank one, and she's put the other five in the fridge for storage... baaad idea I told her... we get bad when we drink... et on n'a pas les moyens de faire ça tous les jours!

I guess you're not drinking much wine these days Mago? What do you drink when you have the choice?

25183. magoseph - 3/20/2009 4:15:09 PM

I drink Grand Marnier on ice in a Art Deco Lalique glass given by one of my most ardent admirers, Ali. If one of my loved ones sees me holding the drink, he’s gone instantly.
