I guess I'm just old school here - man, I'm going to miss my corks! - but I
like the proceedure of the decanter, my little silver funnel, a candle, and of
course, my good "reading glasses." Besides, how else can I justify my
collection of decanters to my wife, if I don't use the blame things? Next,
she'll want to see me put all those little pieces of string, that I collect,
into use... <BG>!
