watching a short documentary about the poet/novelist jim harrison who talks about his love of wine.  the poet says, young writers by the hundreds ask me for advice.  i say three things will save you: red wine, garlic, & dogs. 

that's all well & good for jim harrison.  i've no truck against his advice.  if it works for you, great.  

as for me, i say, what will save you is good beer, salsa, & cats.  

take from either as you wish.
