On and Off Topic - guess which is first. To Jack, Vic and Z,Y,Z: I'm also interested in fine wines and have a few questions. I haven't decided which brand I like best: NightTrain, MD 20/20 or Thunderbird. Their all so wonderful! I particularly like the curved bottles allowing them to fit neatly in my back pocket and the added convenience of the screw-on cap. I truly enjoy the single serving size package and the fact that it is always fresh - not like that "old" wine you guys seem to enjoy so much! This is truly a difficult decision. Now my important question regarding my wine selection: I haven't quite figured out which position I should be in while consuming my wine: Should I assume the more popular horizontal position while drinking, possibly sheltered in the warmth and tranquility of a nearby dumpster or should I assume an upright position, possibly even standing at times. The latter appears to be much more difficult and possibly dangerous although it would provide for neater vomiting! On cold nights I like to hang around the garbage cans warming my port over a crisp, sizzling fire of old newspapers. Also, is it proper etiquette to use a "crazy straw" to drink my wine or should I stick with a straight one? Ahhhh, only in America can one enjoy so much freedom! I'm kidding of course! Kudo's for your effort - Wine is always an interesting topic and can be a very rewarding hobby. I wish you all the best. Someday I'll attempt to figure out the many varieties and hopefully decide which brand goes best with my favorite foods: pizza, chili, raw clams and buffalo wings smothered in more buffalo wings! Any recommendations? As for now gentlemen, pass me another Killians Irish Honey (this weeks favorite), crank up the Jethro Tull and deal me another hand - the night is still young! Back on Topic: I received my package the other day and I havn't completed reading it yet. Certainly makes for interesting reading - don't save it for the bathroom, peruse it right away. Question for anyone who can answer: I've read the 1998 Stock Option Agreement front to back 2 times and I'm still missing something. Is this agreement (1) for employees only and it was included in the package as information only so we may vote on its acceptance? or (2) do we, as shareholders, qualify to enroll in the program and purchase additional shares under the same plan as the employees? - Perplexed Pat
