Thanks guys. I had an interesting day to say the least. I spent the day with my Mom in the hospital while she got some outpatient surgery. I was glad I could be there for her. Shes fine and all went well. Then I had a wonderful meal at one of my favorite restaurants with my lovely bride of over 13 years. We ate and drank too much and then when we got home, I chose a PLPC I got from a wonderful Bro to finish the night off with. Ever since my 40th (today was my 47th), Ive marked my birthday with a drink of Crown Royal that was bottled in 1959. My Dad gave me one of these bottles when I turned 40 and Im sure that he meant to give me the other when I turned 45. But he fell ill and passed in 2000. Before he died, he gave me the second bottle. Sadly I only have one more drink out of the first one left. But I will carry on the tradition as long as the next bottle will last. He was able to enjoy a couple of drinks out of the first one with me for a few years. I will very likely always have a bottle of CR on hand from now on.
Maybe this should have gone under the tell a story that no one else knows thread, or more likely the posting while intoxicated thread :bottle: . Either way, thanks for the Bday wishes!
