If I didn't drink this wine, they might be out of work and their dreams would be shattered. Then I say to myself, 'It is better that I drink this wine and let their dreams come true than be selfish and worry about my liver."

We will be out of town for about two weeks (including the 2nd, 3rd and 4th weekends) in July. Perhaps we can host in August. Good luck and cheers. It has been too long since we have been to an off line.
