Je voudrais un verre de champagne, merci!
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19):
Here's a passage from Kurt Vonnegut's novel Breakfast of Champions:"Kilgore Trout once wrote a short story which was a dialog between two pieces of yeast. They were discussing the possible purposes of life as they ate sugar and suffocated in their own excrement. Because of their limited intelligence, they never came close to guessing that they were making champagne." This scenario has some resemblances to what you're doing, Capricorn. Fortunately, you're much smarter than the two pieces of yeast, and so you will not do the equivalent of drowning in crap. But I bet you'll create something comparable to champagne.
_______
If my novel turns out to be as nice as a bottle of orange label NV Veuve Clicquot I will be thrilled. I'm not expecting an 1985 reserve or a bottle of Grande Dame.
Damn, now I really want a glass of champagne. We have some Corona, but no limes. I can't do Corona without lime. It is too damn bland.
