   ~~~Heard about you today on Jane DeGrow's radio
   program. Since I've lived in Michigan only seven
   years, I don't know where ANYTHING is. Could
   you give me directions from Lansing to your digs?
   ~~~After I saw John Gielgud force port on Norma
   Shearer, and the same with Charles Laughton and
   Jennifer Jones, I was dying for years to try port
   to see if it was worth all the fuss. Finally
   found some a couple months ago at the L&L Grocery
   (where, I fear, true wine connoisseurs would never
   tread). Wow! Delicious! John and Charles could
   make me drink THAT any day of the week. Port
   could easily turn me into an alcoholic, except
   for the fact that I take my dose of red wine
   every 2 or 3 days out of a little shot glass that
   holds only 2 tablespoonfuls. That little bit
   makes me fuzzy all over and weak in the knees.
   I'm a sad case! Not worth saving!
   ~~~My question is: (a really dumb one, I'm sure),
   Is port considered red wine? I have read that
   a little wine is supposed to be good for one's
   health. Can I cheat with port? It's too good
   to be true.
   ~~~I cut out Frank Sutherland's column on wine
   every Monday from the Lansing State Journal.
   Also, bought "The Wine Bible" by Karen MacNeil.
   One might say I'm taking Wine 101. Hic!
   ~~~Oh! The two movies I mentioned were about
   Elizabeth Barrett Browning—-not to be missed!
   Although they were identical, they were both
   fascinating.
   ~~~From what I heard on Jane's program, your
   place sounds delightful. If I ever rob a bank
   and the river doesn't rise, maybe I'll mosey up
   there sometime.
   ~~~Sincerely,
   ~~~~~Grace Baumeister
