On a totally different front, and hoping that it's OK in Visionland to 
recommend good stuff, I would recommend a wonderful book I'm reading called 
"A History of the World in Six Glasses" by Tom Stoddard.  It traces the 
history of civilization through beer, wine, spirits, coffee, tea and 
Coca-Cola (I was saddened to learn that my childhood favorite, Orange Crush, 
is significant only to me and has had scant little effect on the rest of the 
world . . . ).  It's well written, entertaining, and offers a fascinating 
take on the importance of what people drink, produce, condemn and embrace.

I bet the good folks at BookPeople would be glad to order you a copy -- it's 
well worth it.

Enjoying a nice glass of Pinot Grigio as my salute to history,
