Randomness

We're in Walla Walla this week on an anniversary trip, and we were just wine tasting at Kyle MacLachlan's winery. We were chatting with the winery lady about his career and got to talking about David Lynch's Dune.

Winery Lady: I never read the books.

My SO: I read them all. I always tell people to read the first three then stop. After that, they're all backstory and world-building without much plot.

Winery lady: (looks confused)

Me looking at this casually dressed middle aged woman who knows about wine-making processes in excessively nerdy detail: It's like the difference between reading The Lord of the Rings and The Silmarillion, if that makes any sense to you.

Winery lady: Ah, I see!

Sometimes you can take a pretty good guess about someone you don't know at all.

That was the only vineyard we toured, we did tastings of two others plus another still to come (one wine tasting a day is enough, honestly. Two is a max, any more and you're just getting drug and can't tell about the wines any more.)

Awww, congrats! This was our 30th too - not our 30th of being married since we didn't do that for 10 years, but it's the 30th anniversary of when we hooked up.
