That sounds like a good day, Consuela. I was thinking I would head up tomorrow and buy some wine too, but I may be too lazy and just go to the Farmer's market instead.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
That sounds like an EXCELLENT day, Consuela. What kind of wine?
I went shopping. Now I have fun play clothes.

I suspect there won't be much left, frankly. The place was hopping, and we ran out of a bunch of varietals in the 2 hours I was there.
A friend is a winemaker, Kat, for the last 5 years, but he's going out of business. So he was selling off his inventory: pinots, zinfandels, a nice pinot/zin/syrah blend, syrah, and chardonnays.
I got a case each of pinot, zin, syrah, and the blend, which is lovely red table wine.
ooh! that sounds like a good deal of yumminess...

Oh well. Probably better for the pocket book that way.
I heard a woman calling across the subway station to "Padme" today. I shit you not.

The new baby Princess of Norway is named Leah, and HRH Mom fully admits that she was named after Princess Leia (though I wonder how long it took them to talk her into a more traditional spelling).
Padme is apparently Sanskrit for lotus, and part of a Buddhist chant ("Om Mani Padme Hum," "the jewel is in the lotus") so I wouldn't be surprised if there were a few Padmes running around entirely unrelated to Star Wars (and by now heartily sick of it, poor things).
It seems unlikely to me that this particular woman knows much Sansrit, but maybe she was calling to her friend-with-hippy-parents, not her five year old. (I didn't see who she was talking to.)
