Subject: RE: BS: I Opened My Present
Thank you for bringing this back up to the top! I've been meaning to respond to say that my Secret Santa parcel did indeed arrive late last week. (Notification was slow--we've had catastrophic computer failure here so I felt like I was viewing the Internet through a keyhole for a few days, and the major rebuild is due this week.) Anyway, thank you so much! Complete transparency seems to have been the rule this year--my Santee didn't beat around the bush, he just asked Liz who it was, and I received a note from my Santa saying when the box would be shipped. That is one way to remove the torture aspect of the process!

RangerSteve, I imagine these days you're not drinking the local spirits, but what kinds of foods do these go well with? Are they dessert wines? We'll have to find an occasion so several folks can taste them, but I'd like to have the right kind of food. Please advise!

Meanwhile, I'll stick the CD in and give it a listen. Thanks for sending also the local publications--that's always half the fun, reading the local newspaper. :)
