I have about 75% congruence with all of that. A few specifics are different, but most of the attitudes are the same, and surprisingly many details.


I think we would get on quite well in person, actually.


Odd, not so much as a word about your military service.

This blog needs more sword pr0n. Just a suggestion if you're looking for material.


I was wondering if you were in the scouts or not, do you remember what troop you were in?


Brian I was in troop 2, bay state council.

Leg, not so odd; I've talked about it a lot before, and I wanted to talk about random stuff I hadn't talked about so much.


You do have a point there. On the other hand, I've been reading since almost day 1, and I still don't actually know what you did... my best guess has been PJ.


I've done a few things, but ended up working in satellite and crypto systems.


Filled out an abbreviated version over at my blog. I gotta say you've shown some good taste here, Chris.


Sauvingnon Blanc is good. Do you like the really grassy varietals or the ones that play down the grass in favor of the other flavors?
I think my favorite red is Cabernet Franc. Interestingly these are the two that were crossed to make Cabernet Sauvingnon, which I dislike for the same reason you do.

BTW, did you know that you can sing "Stopping by the woods on a snowy evening" to the tune of Hank Williams's "Your Cheating Heart" and "You Win Again"?


I prefer mine to have some citrus notes; but not be too brightly acidic. Peach, pear, or apple notes, and a slight to moderate minerality are also welcome.

I find excessive grassiness offputting; and tending into the asparagus scent, which frankly I hate.


Yeah, me, too. I hate it though if there is no grass at all, because then it's like wiping out all the hiss from old records; too much of what you want there is filtered out, and then it's like some generic white wine with no uniqueness at all.


Ah. That explains many things.

Changing the topic from wine slightly, Chris, if that's what you like in your wine, you should try a single malt called Glen Moray assuming you can ever find it.


One of my favorite blogs is yours.

So there.


Black is the presence of all colors, White is the absence.... FYI


Nope, other way around brother.


Dammit, in virtuality it is! Don't go confusing me with things not displayed on a monitor!


In short, since this was bothering me:

Black is all colors when referring to pigment and the absence of colors when referring to light.

White is all colors when referring to light and the absence of colors when referring to pigment.


Good point. Because light and pigment are spectrum opposites; with reflection, transmission, and absorption being what they are.


No, white pigment is relecting all colors . Black pigment absorbs all colors. Green pigment absorbs all colors except green which it reflects.


DM, that is actually what we were saying.
