bookluvingbabe Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Is it too early to drink? I will be drinking to sheer luck. Next door neighbor's tree came down across our front lawn and walk late last night. No one is hurt. Looks like it missed my car and we can get out of the house after a fashion. And I'm not going to have to rake the damn leaves next fall! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cell phone service seems to be back, and we were able to reach folks there today (who are doing, thankfully, just fine). That said, I'm raising a glass to them tonight as well.

hillvalley Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 We were about to get through to my friend yesterday and talk for about 10-15 minutes. Never thought I would raise a glass to his courage to leave the safety of Israel to travel back to school in Cairo. And to the parents and friends of those who are in Egypt. The waiting between each phone call can take forever. And of course to those who are there fighting for their rights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmm Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 To my dear friend's mother who just passed a few days ago.The first wine to make a "wow" impression on me was an Alsatian Gewurztraminer that she served us in her sister's home in Zellenberg. Tonight we opened a Trimbach Gewurztraminer "Cuvee Des Seigneurs De Ribeaupierre" in her memory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then let me raise a glass to the wonderful family that stopped and helped me out when I was rear-ended on the Beltway three years ago.....like you, it was a hit and run and it was definitely a case of a big guy picking on my little Miata. It was January and it was cold and rainy. The family had come to DC from Tennessee to spend time with their daughter--who was also in the car--who was at Walter Reed, recovering from her IED-inflicted wounds. I was hit pretty hard and was probably in shock, but these kind people helped me call the police, managed to get the license plate of the offender, helped fill in the details for the accident report, and stayed until they knew I would be fine and on my way. When I finally calmed down enough to reflect on what had happened, their kindness literally brought tears. There really are good people in this world.

And to Gunnar Heinsohn, recent events proving that his theories on "Youth Bulge" apply (correctly) to something other than the adolescent priapism that I endured well into my thirties. Not to mention his refreshingly sensible explanations of (non-Ishmaelite) anti-semitism as being rooted in the Jew's doing away with sacrifice as part of doing away with killing in general on principle.

qwertyy Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 To Japan, especially the wonderful people of the Tohoku (northeast) region. Minna-san, ganbatte ne! I'm currently stranded in Bangkok due to a cancelled flight home that was to transit through Tokyo yesterday. And while I'm drinking, as always, to my extraordinary aid colleagues who are scrambling to assist the Japanese people, I'm mostly thinking that there but for the grace of god go I, as my folks say. We can live in Japan, among the most advanced societies in the world, or we can live in Haiti, among the least. But we are still vulnerable to forces greater than ourselves, no matter how well we plan. I'm thinking of those we have loved and lost, and those we have loved and found. I am hoping for some comfort for all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
