Lisa Qiu, NYU student and all-round swell babe (as they said when I was 5 years old).
Lisa reads mondosapore diligently, does her wine homework and is a credit to her post-slacker generation.
And she comments often, the youngest person ever to comment on a blog frequented by (mostly) the silver-threaded and infirm.
On those slim qualifications, therefore, I nominate, second, carry, vote and delcare winner of the mondosapore blog, the lovely and talented Lisa Qiu!
Take a bow, Lisa, and SELL it, baby...

I represent that comment about the infirm and silver.

Terry,
As a fellow wine fanatic, I would like to join Lisa as a groupie. Sharing wine with you is always an adventure and the makings of short stories!

You have a silver tongue
And winning ways
You must be part of the Greatest Generation
Thanks for making all the silverbacks who read you feel as bad as you
That's sure to keep your base energized better than a Whoopie Cushion

1. Jerry, thank you! I am not of the so-called greatest generation (the one that gave me birth and fucked up my life) but thank you anyway.
2. Marquita -- we will have a photo op event in January, when we're all dying for something to do to escape our dinky apartments and the depressing effects of winter. You will of course be splendid.
3. FK, if Lisa is my groupie, she is OF COURSE lovely and talented. Whatsamatta You?
4. Lisa, Lisa, has thou abandoned me? [Sob! Sob!!]

I was just being a wiseacre. It's from AC, naturally.

Waaah!!!!
Look at all these people using words like "wiseacre".
I love this blog and it's readers so much--- let's get together for some wine and pool aerobics.
Just kidding, would love a swim in a tropical beach right now though.
