Today, we noticed we were running low on red wine glasses. They’re crystal, so we just accept a certain attrition rate. Of course, “crystal” also means “not cheap,” so we were momentarily vexed.

Fortunately, I remembered something. I went to the kitchen closet and pulled out my previously-forgotten, unopened “reserve” box of glasses. Said Erin, “Oh yeah, there was a New Economy there for a while, wasn’t there?”

Heh.
