    Gary – new fan – and a big one at that.

    Technical question – when you rate a wine as “92+”, what does that mean? Is it “92.5”? Or is it “92 and above”?

    Passing the word on the Thunder Show here in Seattle…

    I’m going out to Pigalle restaurant here in Boston for Thanksgiving. Hopefully I’ll be bringing some good vibes that will keep the family smiling.

    Heading to my parent’s place in Adrian, Mi. I’ll be bringing my wife and daughter, and we’ll be preparing several dishes, stuffing, fresh cranberries, chocolate pudding pie, and wine. Hope the thanksgiving pack can help drown my depression over another epic lion loss on turkey day.

  • Bro! I’m with you on the butter in the restaurants (you don’t know it, but I gave my monitor a fist bump when you said it). I HATE it when a restaurant brings out some great freshly baked bread and only gives you that brick of frozen butter that rips your bread apart when you try to spread it!

    QOTD: Hmmmmm…. I guess I’m kind of the couch sitting, belt unbuckling, football watching, wine drinking type. But I do bring simply sparkling conversation (in between plays, that is).
