jayOkay... yes, the tinto is excellente, the sherry is something I'm acquiring a taste for... but the cognac-equivalent is dangerous. Wonderful caramel-fruited bouquet, each sip a... haiku. Rolled over and contemplated. Reflecting different things about oneself.
That was dinner. Chicken, garlic, helados, gazpacho. Gentle teasing.
Otherwise... this morning I missed breakfast and was a bit late because of an unexpected call fromtenacious_snail, who (considering what we've wrestled through) abundantly deserves her adjective. And said goodbye to patgreene from Madrid airport. Then worked with JA on configuring an el-cheapo ADSL router, finally giving up by lunchtime. Then writing part of a proposal, reviewing some C++ and a long dull WebEx presentation on drilling, from home.
The three amigas should be landing in a few more hours... I'm off to the town square and la taberna ingles to hang out with the other scientists. Funny that the best bar in a small Spanish town is a fake English pub.
I need to book a reservation for Saturday... I looked into cheap airfares to places like London or Rome for the weekend, but will probably drive instead to Lisbon.

thanks!
Date: 2004-09-23 09:46 pm (UTC)I'm really appreciating the vicarious enjoyment of the sherry.
My first-ever experience of sherry was late-afternoon class in college-- late medieval European history seminary for honors students, and we would sit around in his office and sip sherry once a month. Much, much more sophisticated and well-mannered than the class I had a senior which involved chips, salsa, and zambuca with beer chasers. (and based on that alone, I suspect that people might be able to guess what city I went to college in). Anyway, while I tend to drink very little alcohol these days, sherry is something very easy to tempt me with.
