This week, Rob tells me:

Let's add a new word to your vocabulary: veraison. It's used by grape growers to define the explosive ripening their crop undergoes about a month before the harvest. Up to this point, the grapes are small and hard and pale. Then, within a few days, they get softer and sweeter as they darken in color and grow dramatically bigger. Even experienced viticulturalists don't know when exactly veraison will occur. It happens fast and without warning. But I can pretty confidently predict that you're about to enjoy the human version of veraison, Gemini. Happy ripening season!

So I'm going to swell up and turn dark purple? I'll keep it in mind, Rob.

That's *great* :-)

I can only hope it'll be *just* like that :-P

Well, part of you will, anyway. But most people know when that's (ahem) coming. :)

Did he see your bruises after the accident?

Hey, you never know. You could swell up and turn light green. ;)

Eh... I think he'd definitely be a red wine.

Sorry about that. One of my habitual misspellings. It drives me crazy when it gets past me. :-)

Interesting... They don't say what kind of chocolate they use (like, what supplier). Looks neat, though.
