2/22/06--Smooth jazz, a roaring fire, a glass of cognac....and a fine pork product??

Okay, so today....I'm listening to my radio at work...and an Al Jarreau song comes on.
Its called "After All", and I was sort of getting into it, and I turn to my neighbor at work, Leslie, and comment on how much I like the song.  She turns down her radio and agrees. 
"Oh yeah, I like that song also."
"You know, " I reply, "its the type of smooth jazz song that puts one to mind of....a roaring fire...sitting next to someone you love....and a nice glass of  Courvoisier."
(Which is a brand of cognac for all of you folks out of the loop)

So the two of us are knodding are heads, when next to Leslie...my friend...my baby...Ceci pipes up:

"Now wait a minute.  First of all....we're in Florida.  Why would you want to have a roaring fire in Florida?"
"I'm just setting a mood here," I said.
"And 2nd of all....why would you be sitting there in a romantic setting.....and want someone to be chompin on a big piece of kielbasa?"

She has what Simon Cowell refers to on American Idol as:
"A likeability factor."
