True, it's Australia league rules and you have to run the bases in reverse, but it still counts.<br /><br />People who rinse glasses between wines are just weird. I don't know how that started, but it's ubiquitous and annoying. They're fine with water between wines, but put ice in their warm red? Horrors! You can't add water to it. Idiots.<br /><br />Hi John,<br />Thanks for stopping in. I know you're out there, but you only speak up occasionally. Glad you were delighted.

I have no love for golf, but have many friends who do. I take shorter showers, why don't they close half their golf courses?<br /><br />Wines for the Peeps,<br />It wouldn't surprise me if there were a sort of Riedel for golfers. I don't know. I think the line about golf, aside from Twain's famous quip, is, how can it be a sport if there's never any running involved?<br /><br />Gabe,<br />I'm only ever half-joking.

When in Scotland, play on green turf; when in California (or Dubai), play on the sand. And why haven't the club manufacturers gotten on board? Instead of selling one bag of clubs for "Scottish" conditions, they could sell any number of clubs for various terrains.Wines for the Peoplehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09095439358615901235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6745003136564123305.post-4385314901664396302014-03-17T19:45:18.224-07:002014-03-17T19:45:18.224-07:00Yes, the H2OMG is awesome!

A water sommelier is sort of like a Vegan steakhouse. <br /><br />The site reads like an elaborate prank. Like my old Lot18 friends making a splash with their fake machine turning water into great wine in three days. What they really did is turn 40 million bucks into turd, but that's another story.<br /><br />Thanks for chiming in.
