At night I go for a personal best:

Law & Order: Special Victims Unit,

season 8, episodes 9-12. By day,

the grapes come in: October 10,

6 tons Zinfandel; October 16,

34 tons Cabernet; season 9

episodes 1-5. You get the picture.

My mother, in particular, would like

to get the long process of her departure

from this planet over with.
