Happy Birthday Mr. Nelson Pass!

I don't understand why some people just write here without reading the thread...

It's the Internet.

It was great until '97 when we allowed AOL in... IT WAS A TERRIBLE DECISION. (*)

Then around 06 "social media" started

Around '07 Apple came out with a first "smart phone that connected wirelessly to the Internet.

You think those people who post one liners ever READ anything before posting? To many of those people, 264 characters is a book. My post here, for them is an encyclopedia.

(*) Get it?

I have to apologize to you all and especially to Nelson using this thread to tell him that his birthday present parcel is waiting for him at the postoffice.
I did this in this thread because my last mails to him were answered 50 days later. No problem for me, he seems very busy and he is always gracious and takes the time to answer any question I have.
I did not expect that so many people would react automatically with their best wishes for Nelson too early then.

Very sorry!

My dog is gonna be 17 tomorrow.

We're gonna have the groomer drive up and get him a nice haircut.

Poor dog has no clue... I'm sure Nelson is not so keen on being reminded, EVERY DAY. Heck, I'm but a few years younger and the only good part about my birthday is getting a Rosca De Los Reyes. Otherwise, I'd rather forget it. Everybody just seems to think it's cute to send me those cards...

Now, I'm not Nelson, and I don't mean to claim to know what goes in his head... but, I got an inkling he's got some common sense.

( Even though he says he drinks Cab... amazing. so much wine around and he drinks Cab... only Cab? ).
 
Last night we had a nice Malbec...
Next time maybe Cabernet Franc?

This one in 2019 vintage is superb!
I have a couple of cases!
