Taste & smell favourites. A smell man's list

How long will it take before you can smell and taste this blog? 10 or 20 years from now? How long will it take before you can check out my list of favourites:

• Smell of 'pouriture noble' (English 'noble rot') wine
• Glass of Château d'Yquem
• Pizza ala Siciliana: tomatos, cheese, anchovy and capers
• Fresh hay
• Smell of woodfire (my blog on this)
• Decaying leaves in a ditch
• Glass 'vieille réserve' cognac from Paul Giraud
• ... - not telling you 
• Pipe smoking Mac Baren 'mixture'
• Smell of a boathouse

Terentius 5 steps. Online we are offline concerning to 3 of his steps.

Ever heard of  Terentius (190-159 BC)? Ever heard of his 5 steps of Venus? It's the steps we take one after another "meeting" a new lover: (1) see (2) talk (3) touch (4) kiss and (5) make love. When I apply this to our online world I discover - planet Earth year 2010 - that we only are able to take the first 2 steps. Online we will never be able to touch, kiss and make love to a potential new lover. (Or do you take cybersex  for real?) In this respect 'being online' is a strange image because we're offline towards 3 steps. In this respect I do not really understand why so many of us think that the online world is more real, more fantastic, more living, more cool, and more connected to the world. Or am I biased because I like smelling, touching and tasting so much?
