"I have a March, 1962," said another member. "I've kept her practically
from birth. She's a social worker. Charming. I was going to save her for a
while longer. But why? You've taught me something, Delmore. An occasion
is made special if it is specially recognized."

Delmore had another sip. He felt better than he had in ages. The right
wine is full of mystery. He could taste elusive ghosts. Tomorrow he would
look for another bottle. And he would find it.

Ellen Datlow and I were lunching at a trendy bistro, and we began to
speculate on the possibility of a new breedтАФthe Yuppie Vampire. This
upscale American vampire would need a whole new life-style (if that is the
word) and a new literature to celebrate new standards of taste. To expect
such a creature to be satisfied with old, established blood types was
obviously wrong. You eat what you are. Or, in this case, drink. This
insight caused a vessel to throb in Ms. Datlow's tempting neck and she
said, "Write it, writer." Hence, L'Chaim!, a toast to the nouvelle cuisine of
the dark.
