A Class Act with a Message for All of Us

All I ask of you, especially young people...is one thing. Please don't be cynical. I hate cynicism -- it's my least favorite quality and it doesn't lead anywhere.

Nobody in life gets exactly what they thought they were going to get. But if you work really hard and you're kind, amazing things will happen.

I'm telling you, amazing things will happen.

-- Conan O'Brien

Wine Snob

Recently I was "corrected" at a Bevmo about the pronunciation of a wine I wanted to buy.

Well, for all the world, "Meritage" is pronounced like "Heritage". It is not French. It is not pronounced like "homage".

Don't believe me? http://www.meritagewine.org/our-story

For some reason getting "corrected" incorrectly grinds my gears. I'm working on it.
