<p>Last season is usually quite au courant here in Maine, berurah. OTOH, we might not lag quite as far behind <em>Kansas</em> as we do the Left Coast. ;)</p>
<p>jmmom~</p>
<p>I’m willing to bet that you’re actually ahead of us! That said, however, my daughter who travelled to Boston over Thanksgiving was incredulous at the number of compliments she received on a purse we had bought last minute because her other one had given out. It was a nine-collar special from Wal-Mart! What a trendsetting Kansan she was! Go figure… ~berurah</p>
<p>Cheers, PM for coffee any time. My schedule is usually flexible except when it’s not. !?? I’ve met a large numbers of writers and fans that I’ve first encountered on line and then subsequently IRL at conventions and such and the track record has given me some sense of security about others.</p>
<p>DDM, the port was a modest vintage. Our normal “sipping port” is Six Grapes or something along that line. Cue: “any port in a storm” line as having port is oft preceded by “Does it look like rain?” I got the vintage for the holiday and now TheMom and I will just have to drink it while watching videos of Jane Austen stories, darn it.</p>
<p>This thread made me pour a glass of port tonight after my (lonely) dinner. Does that mean that an addiction to CC will lead to harder addictions? Unfortunately, it’s a cheap label, but it hits the spot tonight!</p>

I’m gonna go for a Tequiza! ~berurah</p>
<p>The walls of our house seem to consist of Doug West serigraphs, a large assortment of very old prints (1700’s, 1800’s), all of Staffa Island/Fingal’s Cave (Scotland - many stories about our experiences with this island), and various cave-related things like old road signs and photographs. But instead of the stuffed variety, we have live animals perched everywhere, especially in front of the fireplace.</p>
<p>Bah! '94 or nonV, I’d share…although I prefer tawny</p>
<p>
Awwwwww, alu, no Kansas on the list??? <em>pout</em> ~berurah</p>
<p>Berurah -</p>
<p>Why not Kansas?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>dig~</p>
<p>I was thinking about getting this other shirt for me…it says (superimposed over an outline map of Kansas), “I’m not one of them. I just live here.” <em>lol</em></p>
<p>ID-ocy is not contagious! 
~berurah</p>
<p>berurah- is your dd still in Boston? I’d be happy to give her a tour of some old Yankee sites!</p>
<p>andi~</p>
<p>She flew back in yesterday!!! I am SO glad…I missed her a bunch! But she may be back in Boston again sometime, and we’d sure love to take you up on your offer! Thanks, sweetie…love, ~berurah</p>
