I will be leaving the office today at 11:30 to celebrate the end of another copier lease. And because it's Friday.

Thank you. That is all. Carry on.

Most points Vandy has ever scored against the Lady Vols.

And this will be the last season of House.

Until I watched them last year on TV, I was neither aware it was an NCAA sport nor that we were ranked.  It certainly looked like a lot of fun!

Is it officially an NCAA sport or is it a club sport? I don't see NCAA nor SEC banners anywhere.

They were recognized at a UT BB game.

Did anyone know this stuff?

Good grief! They were the 2010-2011 National Champions.

That counts as a National Championship.

By the way, UT is ranked 22nd.

........in a Paintball tournament! UT has a paintball team. Who knew?

Local TV sports news reports that multiple sources say that the Big 12 is "courting" Clemson and FSU. It's all about money as the Big 12 is reportedly offering twice as much TV money as the ACC.

[Conundrum]

Thanks for asking


Conundrum (2010)($20.00)

A delicious California white blend of Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Muscat Canelli, Viognier and
Semillon. Previously the winery specified the percentages, but no longer. The percentages vary with the vintage.  Also, the wine used to be known as Caymus Conundrum. The wine is still produced by the family that owns Caymus but now stands as a separate brand.

This has been a favorite of mine for a long time and should be readily available.

I will be leaving the office at 11:30 today to celebrate the absence of winter. By playing golf.

Thank you. That is all. Carry on.

USC ends a 40 game losing streak to the Lady Vols.

Did I read that correctly?  Are you saying that a random SEC coach, we'll call him "Nick", can receive as many LOI's as he wants, pick out the best 25, declare that he "doesn't accept" the rest, and get around the 25 man limit?  Is the loophole really THAT big?

Did you get the emails today?  Turley and 09 Bordeaux!

I got them. Thank you again. More Turley sounds good.

But the other link didn't take me to Bordeaux but a 90 point Alsace sparkler for 18 bucks. 55% off. I might try it.

What I want to know is.....Where is Big Jim's Boobie Bungalow?

Great news!

Prayers for you Iris. You're tough enough to get through this.

[McWilliam's]

Thanks for asking!

I"m drinking the sweet nectar of victory. And some wine.


McWilliam's Riesling South Eastern Australia, Hanwood Estate (2006)($11.00)

I saw this in the grocery and decided to try it even though I knew nothing about it. I later found that Wine Spectator rated it 88 points. It's dry but it has a smooth middle that provides just a hint of being off-dry. Good acidity on the finish provides a nice bite. An 88 point wine for eleven bucks is definitely a bargain. And it was even more of a bargain for me because I got an instant $1.00 coupon with my Bi-Lo bonus card.

I will be leaving the office at 11:30 today. I can't resist 60+  degree weather in January.

Thank you. That is all. Carry on.
