By the way, one of the true greats of atonal music died today. Let's all raise a glass to Pierre Boulez.

There should really be a TPF scheduling app that would automate the posting of the remaining pages for me.

NB. That is not a serious suggestion.

It is exciting isn't it! And I know how it ends!!

What did we end up paying in that place in Chelsea..? I liked that, who was it that booked it?

what would be the theme? Last time it was atonal music. What's the betting it will be something like "Phenomenology and the Etruscans" this time? Is that a band? Shut up and tell me if you're coming to New York at Easter. Sadly, I think probably not. Luckily New York tastings are rarely e...

Is everyone sitting comfortably?

Apologies for breaking off halfway through a sentence. That's what you call a cliffha

I've warned you.

Excellent! You rarely get public school educated, double-barrellers working in other areas of grocery but it is common when it comes to selling wine. I wonder why? Perhaps a convenient trade for the sons of the well-heeled gentlemen who could not quite manage to be lawyers, doctors or commissioned ...

Whoops! Left you hanging there. Here are two pages to make up for it.

Friend makes sense. It's just that the last letter really is an 'm'.

Thank you.

Great. Any dates that definitely DON'T work for you, from Fri 25th March [Good Friday] to Fri 1st April, inclusive (that excludes the dates on which I fly)?

DRT wrote:The first two letters could be "Fr".

Yes. It could be a lower case 'f' also - it could almost be 'friends' but the last letter is most definitely an 'm'. Or at least it's not a 'ds'.

The second letter is an 'r'. There is a dotted 'i' either third or fourth. The last letter is an 'm'. In between could be a 'u' or an 'n'. But beyond that I have no idea and I can't work out the initial letter. C? I?

You two make it all worthwhile.

What's the date on the invoice, and where?

_ri_um
The first letter could be G. I'm stumped for now.

I'm listening again to the first session from this morning. It seems a good way to top and tail a Sunday.

Would anyone like to know more? This is the Dorothy L. Sayers story I promised; and I post this page tonight to whet your appetites. As you can see, Lord Peter Wimsey is not here for this one. Owen do you know this? I propose to post a page a day. It's not a long story and it can be your bedtime rea...

Hello again New Yorkers, Let's do it all over again. I'm over for ten days at Easter, and last May's tasting in Chelsea was so wonderful that I'm moved to suggest we hold another tasting in the same restaurant. My dates are the 24th March to the 2nd April though obviously Easter weekend itself is in...

Current draft of the placemats.

(Glass pages are US Legal = 14″×8½″; others are US Letter = 8½″×11″.)

I'm confused. How should I get my 92 over and to whom, when? Wolfgang's post says I bring it to the tasting and hand it to Dr. Dirk. Why, and why? It then says that he will have the 92 in his possession by tomorrow. I'm even more confused. Also, just a thought, food doesn't usually come to more than...
