Alfert’s pregnant?
Thanks for the early look Alfert!
Yea no complaints about having checked in early, it’s delicious. I saved 1/3 of the bottle for tonight. Will circle back.
And to Neal’s question, Neal, ask Fu why he wears stretchy pants…
Did you ever see a grimpeur that was not petit?
Until I googled it I was pretty sure I had never seen a grimpeur
When someone has more hair on their chest than their head you let them get some cracks in on you.
All attorneys are required to have a corkscrew in their offices. I certainly did - but it did not look like a weapon. That is reserved for Florida attorneys.
That I could do. I speak Southern and can translate it into 'merican.
Ending phone calls at 7:40 seems like an early night. I assume you worked for another couple of hours after the Gonon?
Ironically, this call had folks from Korea, DC, Florida and Georgia. It’s the Georgia-speak that’s tough!
This is why I will never qualify as a grimpeur:
Sports physiologists have attributed the advantage that small stature holds in cycling up steep ascents to the way in which body mass and body surface area scale according to height (see square-cube law). As a hypothetical cyclist’s height increases, the surface areas of his body increase according to the square of his height whereas the mass of his body increases according to the cube of his height. The surface area relation applies not only to the total surface area of the body, but also to the surface areas of the lungs and blood vessels, which are primary factors in determining aerobic power. Thus, an equally proportioned cyclist who has 50% more body mass (i.e. is 50% heavier) will generate only about 30% more aerobic power. On a steep climb most of the cyclist’s energy goes into lifting his own weight, so the heavier cyclist will be at a competitive disadvantage. There is, of course, a lower limit to the benefit of small stature because, among other factors, the cyclist must also lift the weight of his bicycle. The additional power is proportional to the grade or slope of the road and the speed of the rider along the slope (or along the level line). For a 5% grade, each meter of road requires lifting the body weight by 5 cm. The power (watts) is equal to change in gravitational potential energy (joules) per unit time (seconds). For a 60 kilograms (130 lb) rider, the additional power needed is about 30 watts per meter/second of road speed (about 8 watts per km/hour).
I go for the maillot vert, instead.
Like it in my wines as well.
How about Spanish
I’m Spanish
yes, but . . .
Thanks for the note though I agree with you that oftentimes babies are the most delicious!
I kind of regret following Fu on Instagram. Fu envy is real. It does appear that he is one of the best people to be friends with if you are an epicurean; too bad there’s nothin’ but cynics here!

I had a bad day, too.
Nobody was picking up on my social signalling, my wife’s McLaren got a scratch that’s gonna set me back 20 grand, other people who are not me needed attention, and my wine broker said my cases of 1945 First growth’s wouldn’t be here until Friday. Freaking Friday! I had half a mind to drive my Bugatti Veyron down to my personal terminal and hop on my Global 7500 and fly down and get them myself.
So, screw it, I opened my 21st to last bottle of 1959 DRC, flew Mick and the boys in for a personal barn concert and it cheered me up. ![[cheers.gif]](/uploads/db3686/original/2X/0/0ff9bfcdb0964982cd3240b6159868fbdf215b1a.gif "cheers"){kind=small}
I was believing you on this till you said Mick and the boys showed up, know he is rehearsing for the summer tour.
At our guest villa.
Keith goes through La Tache likes it’s Hearty Burgundy. Talk about an expensive wino.
Luckily, I have a dedicated DRC cave.
He doesn’t smoke when he’s at our place, either. Respect.
I would just like to say that I very much like this post even if I disagree that Texas is for chumps.
Your dogs are adorable and I want to pet them.
K-John, my apologies, I was sure you lived in Florida!
