Maya: No, I- I like to think about the life of wine. Miles Raymond: Yeah. Maya: How it’s a living thing. I like to think about what was going on the year the grapes were growing; how the sun was shining; if it rained. I like to think about all

For the record, I absolutely LOATHE Glenn Beck. Whenever he is on TV I make it a point to change the channel-even at the gym. Which is why this article from Time, struck a nerve with me today: Don’t Tell Me What 9/12 Means, Glenn Beck Today, you

I am over my crankiness of earlier ( well sort of….). So I spent some time with the S.O. tonight, because she deserved some attention and kindness. We watched the movie Sideways, so we could see where we had been last week. It all looks bigger in the movies. Today is

Not that anyone will listen to him-but from a purely American interests standpoint-he may be right: U.S. forces are being increased by 21,000 to 68,000, bringing the coalition total to 110,000. About 9,000 are from Britain, where support for the war is waning. Counterinsurgency theory concerning the time and the
