Made me really miss sitting around the bar at Marine Plaza Hotel with you and Wilson... the good old days Out of Nairobi in 23 days! Amy and I are sailing on the Queen Mary from London to NYC on May 16. Can't wait to show you some photos when we finish. Take care bro.

People are already tired of hearing about my non-existent book deal. I'm sure they will start throwing rotten tomatoes at me (or the web version of rotten tomatoes, at least) if I even mention a movie deal. ;-) I had a great evening talking to you about life and films. We should do it again, sometime soon, before my bar runs dry. @GK: Heh! People are already tired of hearing about my non-existent book deal.

The only other time you notice is when you know exactly when the well will run dry. With every bottle of wine I drink, I'm draining the well. Only when the well is dry will I know how thirsty I will get without the wine. But, until then, even an average bottle of wine tastes like it's a rare Bordeaux. @Deepa: It is almost ancient wisdom that you don’t really miss your water until your well runs dry.

After all your experiment is about 'off consumption'. :) It is an emptiness in our lives that we try and fill with retail therapy- the reason women buy shoes, diamonds and choclates and men buy- what I don’t know but I guess Cds and DVDs come close :) I think you should auction your bottles of Merlot.
