What are we drinking?
Lani had 2004 Robert Mondavi Private Selection Sauvignon Blanc.
Wine notes: Our Sauvignon Blanc weaves crisp notes of citrus, pear and melon with hints of lemon thyme and soft oak. 13.5% alcohol. In the neighborhood of $10.
Sam had 2005 Lindemans Bin 99 Pinot Noir from Australia.
Wine notes: Medium bodied, soft and elegant. Fresh red berry flavours develop savoury, game characters. The finish is balanced with cleansing acidity and a touch of smoky oak. 14%. $8.
Shout-out to: Sam’s cat, Oliver.
Catherine Wade for help with the improv!
Lisa Gardineer from southeast Pennsylvania:
Ever since discovering my own ability to write and dream up plots, yada, yada, yada, I've been swamped with characters in my head. In the two years since I've had my Enlightenment, I have come up with no less than 15 books. That sounds all well and good, but my mind can never center on just one. Every morning I have twentysome fictional people at war in my head demanding attention. I've been flip flopping back and forth from plot to plot, but do you have any suggestions on focusing? has this happened to either of you?We Recommend!
Lani recommends: The Princess Bride by William Goldman (book)Sam recommends: The Best of Chris Isaak (CD)

Getting caught up on the shows, and I had to comment. Wicked Games came out in 1989-1990. I remember this because it was used a few times for a soap couple that I loved.
