Good morning Kevin

Yesterday, I had some sense of what life must be like for you

For a person who imbibes relatively infrequently--I really over-did it. Now by your standards, the amount that I drank was probably what you have for starters--but for me it was a rather interesting experience. More to the point, it was a revelation for some of the people who were visiting.

I am generally on the quiet side -- more a listener than a talker--but I was told that I started becoming quite loquacious and rather dominating the conversation. I then became quite philosophical for a while and thereafter started quoting lengthy passages from Shakespeare with a particular emphasis on Julius Caesar and Hamlet!!! Thereafter I became rather withdrawn -- to a point where some thought that I was sulking. The "sulking" phase ended after a few more drinks and dinner which was spectacular. We played Scrabble for a while and I used words that no one had heard of (including myself) -- the Scrabble dictionary was put to heavy use -- as I was challenged repeatedly-- and more often than not the word was in the dictionary:)

A couple of the gifts I got were indicative of the aging process:) One was something that fits on my chair in the study and massages my back, shoulders and thighs on command. The other -- because I often can't remember where I left my keys--is this key chain that when one claps four times starts beeping and that way one can track the keys!!!

The interesting thing, is that the latter was in such demand that it was out of stock in several places -- which tells one a little about what is happening to the the baby-boomers:)

Hope that you had a good Christmas.
