 Cool stuff.... big headache! ;-)  Very wild in between!;-)

However, my dear wife this evening opened a bottle of Port after dinner that 
she was presented with by the Secretary to the Ambassador of Portugal ..... 
ready?..... January  1975! :-)


TRUE! :-) My wife was the attending nurse to the Secretary and because she 
was so kind to her, the Secretary gave her this bottle of Port and it sort 
of got lost as we moved from one side of our country to the other 26 years 
ago and it never got opened, but lay in a wine rack until this evening.:-)

Big question between us was ....... "do you think it's still OK?"  "You go 
first."  " No you try a sip!"  I of course being the head of the family, 
well OK for this taste testing moment only :-) I tried it and it was 
fine.... 31 years after my wife was presented with the bottle.:-) Actually 
it was very good! :-)

Now of course if you should not ever hear from me again you'll know it 
wasn't OK! ;-)

But it tasted excellent. Unfortunately it does seem kind of a crime to have 
had this bottle these many years and now we have to continue drinking it 
until it's gone. :-( Oh well what the hell, I think I can suffer through it 
to the end! ;-)
