Can I Have Some Wine With That Whine?


Dear Marianne and Laura,

Friday nights just wouldn't be the same without gathering for "Wine and Whine" a tradition we started when I was between men, Laura's hubby was off meditating and Marianne was new in town.

Sometimes it's more whine than wine, but rarely. Usually, we're bantering (loudly at times) over iPhones versus Blackberrys, whether tanning beds are bad for your health, and if we can outlive age discrimination in the work place. We agree on very little making it much more likely we'll eat the last piece of cheesecake and still open another bottle before midnight.

Oh, that's right. We did agree to forego vajazzaling and were surprisingly all in love with "Mama Mia."

I love to cook so thank you for letting me channel Martha Stewart week-after-week. Marianne, you love to sell and buy homes (your 3rd in 3 yrs.) so thank you for hosting. Laura, you love to travel so thank you for bringing exotic gifts (last night 'holy dirt') and stories from far away places.

Maybe "Wine and Whine" would make the perfect pilot series for a TV sitcom, "Married, Single, and Divorced" a.k.a. the "Golden Girls" with political, dating, literary and social commentary on anything that crosses our mind.

Next week's topic: EPL, movie versus book.

Love,
Gwen
