    Fish - love it! Those conversations are why I love being a teacher (and a parent

    Nanci - Coke Alert? As in, we both had the same thought at the same time? or is there another meaning? And Pinum - means Pine? Or is that your own latin version. I guess it could still be considered "wood"... As long as it's not "flaccidum"....

    Wine - we drank a bottle last night, a bottle the night before, and a bottle the night before that. It's gonna be a nice summer but I'm going to have to start drinking the home made stuff pretty soon or I'll go broke...

    Coke Alert means don't have a mouthful of something when you read the post. So you don't laugh and spit.

    The original latin word was "vinum" so I just changed it to "pinum" which sounds like penis.

    Kelowna, at least you're not up to 2 bottles a night! You have to cultivate a taste for the less expensive wines. I _love it_ when I can find one I really LOVE for under $8.00- like Columbia Crest Shiraz or Covey Run Chardonnay, not to mention all the Sutter Homes except merlot, mostly which I wouldn't say I loved, but liked a lot for $4.00!!

    Yeah, that's the one - can you tell I have an 8 year old at home?

    Two bottles of wine, well, um, to be honest, we did drink two bottles last night. I just didn't want to sound too, well, you know, irresponsible...

    One of my faves is a French merlot that's only $8+ a bottle (Bouchard Aine & Fils). That's cheap around here. We don't have any wine under $8 I don't think. Unless you buy it by the box and then it probably works out that way.

    Our homebrew wine is pretty good. We made a great merlot last October at the U-Brew place and it's actually tasted pretty good that first day. It's not supposed to begin reaching its peak until this August but it's hard not to drink it now...
