   Nice!
   My mom, uh … can bring me home surgical gloves if I ask nicely, only want a few pairs, and don’t mind that they’re purple?
   Nah, I got nuthin.
   (She did let me have a few vicodins last week from baby sis’s wisdom-teeth stash, tho.)
   I think you should temporarily expand Trysting Fields into a wine journal. And send me the champagne. Mmmmm, champagne.
   (Actually, don’t. Lately drinking = crying +/or puking for me.)

   I don’t know anything at all about wine. But it’s an idea. I was planning to save them (well, most of them) for a party on the 30th.
   Maybe it could be a wine-reviewing party. Theme!

   The two glasses are a nice touch, don’t you think? You can drink it more quickly that way. Very convenient.
   Where’s that Red Bull concentrate at?

   You’d have to ask the US (or perhaps Australian, at this point) postal service. Been out of my hands since last Friday, my friend.

   Ern and I learned a great trick back in our raging alcoholic days, from an older and clearly far more experienced raging-alcoholic couple at a champagne brunch in Kona: Turn your flutes upside down and banish them to the back of the table — somewhere godforsaken, like behind the salt and pepper shakers. The put your (much larger) water goblets at the edge of the table whenever the bubbly express makes its refill rounds. The waiters don’t care how much you guzzle — they’ll fill whatever glass you offer em.
   Man, I think we killed, like, 6 bottles of champagne that morning. My head hurts just thinking about it …
