Environment and Extraneous Variables:
The house that Andrew built, or that he at least pays rent for. Back to an old standby for dinner, couple Round Table Pizza pies. One was pepperoni and the other mushroom. Mmmm mmmm good! Our buddy Jeff from around the way came back to join us this time. He brought us a nice selection of Chianti, though he clearly hadn’t read our blog from the first night (see Friday January 8th 2010 Da Vinci 2007). We drank it anyway, because, why not?
A couple supporters joined early in the evening via the internets (a series of interconnected tubes that carries information around the planet). We also started a Facebook group page so please join that as well. Believe me, you will be missing out if you don’t.
Again, we were a bit relaxed on taking notes on these three wine, so if these entries feel a little thin. Please, contact the FNCC’s SWC office.
We would be criminally negligent in failing to mention the passing of an American icon and one of Simon’s all time heroes. RIP Corey Haim. Your work on ….. Will forever be…. Well rest in peace.
Oh wait; I really liked The Lost Boys, kinda. 
On a more political note…
I will personally dedicate one class of wine to the passage of the health care reform bill.
Alright then, to the wines….
