Excellent reply, Double0757! (note - the 57 in your name isn't by chance your birth year, is it?).
Only thing I'll note is that for me, the wine always tastes worse at the winery, for some bizarre reason. Never understood that one. But at least it means if I like it well enough there, I'll REALLY like it in the confines of my little housie.

Thanks, no, I was born in 1959, the Double O was a nick name adopted in pilot training in 1982, Lubbock TX. No body could pronounce well my real name, Osvaldo, and instead of responding to Oozo, Ozzy, one guy said, "your initials are O.O. I'm calling you Double O" and that was better than nicknames of the past (collage and high school), slobber, guineo (banana in Spanish), so I adopted it without complaints. From then on, every time I went to a new base and they started butchering my name I would give them an easy out (and avoiding a less than desirable nickname), telling them that they called me "Double O" on my last base. 31 years later, I'm still call Double O outside my family. The 757 is the Boing 757/767 I flown for the last 15 years! And that's...... the rest of the story! Paul Harvey good day! Double O

Couldn't pronounce Osvaldo? Sheesh, that's a no brainer. Xiao Qiong, maybe, but Osvaldo? They need to get out and about more.
