Youth wasted on young, yada, yada...

I'm on the phone recommending the movie Sideways, which started showing here, and go on to talk about how the movie makes you want to get to know wines better - even attend a wine tasting.

You ever been to one? The young woman who used to volunteer with me and who called to see how I was doing asks.

I used to when I lived abroad, but not since I've been back [to Brazil].

[more talk about wines for a bit]

I always wondered, she says and I can hear her eyebrows furrow, why they spit the wine.

You don't have to, I never did. I drank it.

But what is the right etiquette - to spit or swallow?

She really doesn't understand why the hell I can't talk or even breath on the other end of the line for a while.

I always swallowed, but it's really up to you. I crack up again and this time I really lose it.

I tell ya, youth these days... they really don't have the same bite. No pun intended.

Side note - Jennifer Garner won a SAG? Now I know these awards can't be serious. Maybe they felt sorry for (contractual obligation) Elektra?
