Chi-Chi and the Greek Vintage

I should be working, but am actually enjoying a bit of reading. Too stressed and very tired. In love with George Sand, Vera Nabokov, Anais Nin, Violette Leduc....all at the same time.
May I add that I am absolutely disappointed by the new fruit craze, Grapple's?? I conjured up visions of apple orchards that had been planted over century old soil that used to be a home for grapes. I even shared this dreamy thought with my children, I mean how else to get an apple to taste like a grape??
BY SOAKING IT IN GRAPE JUICE, that's how!
Tomorrow, the evil of FLIP FLOPS in modern day culture.
