Well, not really ... not 16 and certainly have been kissed at least once or twice.  Monday, 15-May is my 48th BD.   Under normal circumstances, I would celebrate the event (on that day) with all my might ... but celebrating on Monday doesn't feel right.  So, tonight, Friday, Decy and I will celebrate my birthday.

About 3 years ago while in Portugal, I bought a 1958 bottle of port ... it was quite expensive.  I have been saving it for my 50th birthday (you can do the math).  BUT, lo and behold, it appears I won't be here in Angola to celebrate the momentous event ... and I don't want to risk losing or breaking the bottle during the move .... so, Decy and I decided we would enjoy the bottle tonight.

Now, how does a person enjoy such a special bottle?  Only with special friends that would truly appreciate what is about to come out of that old, old, old bottle (yikes, I feel old now).  So, Decy and I have invited Franck and Valerie Boursier (a french couple) over for dinner tonight .... no doubt we will have a wonderful dinner ... snacks, meal, port, conversation ... and probably karaoke ....

Stay tuned for a Saturday phusebox-post ... with a pic or two .... in the meantime, I have some work to do ....

Ciao ciao ...
