I'm stunned at the truism of "wait till you're 30" though because the stupid shit I do just seems to escalate after each passing year. It's annoying -- Like putting the coffee creamo in the pantry or the cereal in the fridge or car keys in utilities drawer.<br/><br/>I'd rather tell myself it's because I smoke pot than because I'm "over 30" though, so let's pretend that's the case. I don't want to stop smokign the dope, though, because then I'll have no excuse. Ha!<br/><br/>But, yes, the stupid stuff happens a little too often for comfort these days.<br/><br/>Anon -- I've never had to poke a cork through in all my time. I've always been able to get the broken corks out, just by being patient and going slow. <br/><br/>Unlike a lot of wine snobs, though, I celebrate the arrival of the screwcap... makes drinking for picnics, etc, so much simpler, and it's been a long time since I've had a bottle be spoiled on me. :) CJ — Yeah, I hear ya.

I’d rather tell myself it’s because I smoke pot than because I’m “over 30″ though, so let’s pretend that’s the case. I don’t want to stop smokign the dope, though, because then I’ll have no excuse. Ha!

But, yes, the stupid stuff happens a little too often for comfort these days.

Unlike a lot of wine snobs, though, I celebrate the arrival of the screwcap… makes drinking for picnics, etc, so much simpler, and it’s been a long time since I’ve had a bottle be spoiled on me. :)

Then you'd have all those little cork pieces floating in your nice glass of wine because you tried in vain to dismantle the cork before doing so...<br/><br/>As for pens, I never find them even when they are perched on my ear.
