OT: Invitation To Join My Virtual Birthday Party

[Bob Stockler]

I have been known for sponsoring virtual Kentucky Derby Day Parties
for some time.  Now I'm going to sponsor a virtual Birthday Party
(Mine).

On Sunday, May 25, 2008 at 6 AM CST I shall have lived on this earth,
out of my mother's womb, for 29220 days.
                             ^^^^^
I invite all of you to celebrate with me at 5 PM EDT om 05/25/2008.
                                            ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Instead of Mint Juleps, the drink of the day will be Old Fashioned
Cocktails.  It's a drink that was invented at the bar in the Men's
Grill of the Pendennis Club in Louisville, KY (a club I belonged to
for many happy years), the drink invented many, many years before.

Recipe:

  Fill a low-ball (versus highball) glass with ice cubes.

  Fill that with 100 proof genuine Kentucky Bourbon (preferably sour mash).

  Add 3 to 5 dashes of Angostura Bitters to your taste.

  Add a bit of simple syrup [1] to your taste.

Mix an Old Fashioned Cocktail and join my Virtual Birthday Party to
toast with me my 29220 days on this good earth.

Bob (who is preping by having an Old Fashioned Cocktail right now)

[1] - Simple syrup is saturated sugar water.  You can make it yourself
      (Google for recipies), or buy it premade at liquor stores as I do
      (Collins Bar Syrup).

PS - To bring this a little back to OT, many of these days I've
     been using filePro, dating to PROFILE on the Radio Shack
     MODEL II computer and up until now when my MENU EDIT II
     (the best filePro Menu management program available) is now
     distributed by fPTech with the latest versions of filePro.
