Are We Hoda and Kathie Lee, or, Isn't it 5:00 in the Middle of the Atlantic Ocean?

First came the tasting, and then came the choice. Cool and I were out to lunch last Friday---I know, two times now!!---and we ordered wine. It was 1:00 in the afternoon, and we ordered wine. That was a first for me. It was all Cool's doing, of course. It occurred to me, with our glasses sitting in front of us, that we had become Hoda and Kathie Lee. They have a 10 A.M. TV show on NBC, and they sit there looking all cute (thanks to plastic surgery I suspect--Hoda is 50, Kathie Lee is 61), glasses of wine in hand. Wine at 10 A.M.? Scandalous! Wine at 1 P.M.? Well, as I said to Cool, "It's 5:00 out in the Atlantic Ocean," and that made it seem acceptable.

Wine in the early afternoon, beer at Oktoberfest............are the BVGs in need of an intervention?

I'm just saying...
