I have a dear never-mo friend whose daughter is living with her TBM Dad right in the middle of the southern Alberta Moridor (Magrath)...and the young lady just got baptized. I don't know if her Mom knows yet that she'll be barred from attending her only daughter's wedding.

I believe there is something greater than me. Maybe it's just the collective good will I feel when I'm around good people...or the need to do something positive and selfless just because it feels so good.

I agree....if it tastes good, I don't care if it's cheap....mores the better if it is...I know zero about wine, other than I like drinking it....same with single malts...no grey area there for me I like it or I don't based solely on taste.
