Last night I went to a Democractic Workers Election Party to watch the results of us kicking Arnold Swartzenegger's ass... and it was so much fun.

POST MORE DAMNIT.

If you like, I can try to mail you some of our olive oil. If you e-mail me your address, I can send you a package. This years oil is less fruity, but still quite good. It isn't italian DOP though. Perhaps you are used to a higher quality. This is just a little old man's grove.

I would love that. I'm not sure I have your present email address though.
