The room is perhaps 10′ by 10′. This was, as Darth Vader said of young Luke’s skills in ‘Empire,’ “Most impressive.”<\/p>\n I have apparently gained the ability to summon spirits which cannot be contained by a cork. I need more technology.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I forgot one amusing anecdote from this weekend: We had a cherry wine blowout.<\/p>\n NRG, redmed, and I were sitting in the living room of the apartment after a tour, in which I showed off the mighty collection of fermented products that I’m carrying around at this point.
