Huh. I was thinking more like $30-40.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Pretty nice? I would say at least $30. But you can get nice stuff for $20 as well.
What's the occasion?
I wonder if this is what having your heart in your mouth is supposed to feel like.I get a pulse-y feeling at the back of my tongue. Is that heart in your mouth? I dislike it.

Last week I was talking with a friend at Arisia whom I don't see very often. He's an EMT, so I get all kinds of good stories from him, but as we paused he noticed the back of my hand, and spoke glowingly of the obvious health of my veins, which are all protrudy and blue. Said he'd volunteer any time to run an IV for me.

I've seen the yellow label Veuve Clicquot for $40-45, so if you downgrade from there, $20-30 is about right for a lesser but still good sparkling wine.

Well, that's more original than, "You've got really pretty eyes."

This is the book I couldn't remember the title of and wanted to mention during yesterday's (or the day before's?) conversation about nutrition. I heard the guy interviewed on NPR and it sounds facsinating and science-based. Mindless Eating: [link]

My heart keeps...keeps doing this thing. I wonder if this is what having your heart in your mouth is supposed to feel like. But it's not in my mouth. It's just halfway up my oesophagus doing an extra big thump.
Have you ever been checked for mitral valve prolapse?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Have you ever been checked for mitral valve prolapse?
I've had what was supposed to be a full heart workup about six months ago, but who knows what full means. There was stress testing and rig wearing and PFO detection.
Off to wikipedia to look up the prolapse. Mitral valve prolapse, I mean. Prolapse alone makes me think of uterus prolapse, which makes me shiver.
