Congrats on the win during your wedding aniversary. Happy Birthday.
QOTD: psyched that the color of a person skin doesn’t matter anymore, but can’t say that I think Obama will do half of what he said.

QOTD: Before the election I was like “yeah Obama’s cool but does the president really have enough power to fix things? Can anyone really fix the mess we are in?” And now that he’s won, I’m not a skeptic anymore. Seeing that winning this election was a feat to begin with, I can see that he will bring the Thunder come January.

And I’m just glad I can stop having nightmares about a Palin administration.

nice guest!!

QOTD. yes, even in japan we are totally psyched about obama!! good onya yanks. you finally found (and voted for!) a really good one. and a positive spin on the abject failure & climate criminal that precedes obama is that his pathetic (criminal might be more accurate) performance made the change to obama possible.
back to the positive. i think really great things & a positive future await all of us with president obama.

The Sauvignon Blancs I have tried, to date, have all been disappointing. They don’t bring the thunder like the Rieslings do. Must be the acid you speak of.

QOTD: “Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.”

Knitting……. are you serious… 1/3 of the population knits… that is nuckin futs… Well i guess do what your passionate about, but there is no way I would seat and watch a video on the internet about knitting, wine yes but knitting… lol… well all the power to you knitters!

QOTD: I am Canadian, but I am stoked to see you vote in Obama, he had my vote..

Good episode, enjoyed it even though I am not a Sav. Blanc enthusiast.

QOTD – No. I prefer wine over Kool-Aid.

This was a good show too, charming guest..and in my view better than the one who appeared just prior to the Jancis show. Very fair, unexaggerated commentaries.

QOTD – The guest asked if the viewer is psyched by what is happening in the USA since the election. That is NOT a political question. If she had asked if the viewer was psyched by what is happening as a result of the election, that is a whole different kettle of fish. As a Canadian I cannot answer the question.

Loved the non-industry guest! Great to hear her just express it in her own words.
Also, wowed me on the #s involved in Knitting. Can’t believe it. So weird to think of all the niche ways people make money and the way people meet other people. Really cool.
And John H’s story about the group of Knitters staying up the latest – damn funny. Who knew?!

I will do a separate post after watching the videoblog. Gary, I want to wish you (by now) a belated Happy Anniversary – and I know you enjoyed it immensely – and now a Happy Birthday – which I expect you are already enjoying immensely.

This was a most entertaining game. I am very thankful the outcome was not settled by the controversial holding penalty to Mike Vrabel which led to the Jets’ late touchdown. I was much more dissapointed with the overthrow of Cassels to Moss, and especially by the blown coverage of Pats #31 (Meriwether I believe) which led to the Jets’ 3rd and long conversion in OT. In my view it is those two late mistakes which cost the Pats the game. Oddly enough in OT I had a deja vu of this same Pats player missing coverage during the Giants’ final scoring drive in the Super Bowl, which allowed a crucial 3rd down completion to (I think) Steve Smith. Nonetheless, it was a strong performance offensively by both teams, and the Jets’ hard-fought victory was well deserved. As a footnote, Brett Favre’s on-field comments after the game were very gracious.

QOTD: Hell No! There was only one republican running this presidential race and it was Sarah Palin! Not a big fan of socialism…

Funny Knitters Story, Gary. I golf with in N. Michigan every year with the same 7 others guys each May. We fly in to Traverse City and stay at a family run resort on Lake Michigan during the long weekend. For about 3 years, a group of ‘knitters’ also came up at the same time to knit and drink wine for the weekend. Have you note, they stayed up later each night than we did (we couldn’t keep up) and probably had an average of 10 years on us per person. Apparently, wine and knitting are a natural fit!
