Thanks for the birthday wishes, everyone! Never thought I'd see 76, but certainly glad I have! 
No big trip or anything this October. Just a day of tennis, a nice lunch at the tennis/country club, and an outstanding supper at our favorite Sarasota restaurant, Andrea's. Terrific food, plus the real stars in the last three shots: Nancy (aka The Queen) wearing my favorite necklace (designed by me and custom-made at a long-gone jewelry shop on Saint Martin) and an absolutely spectacular bottle -- the second wine of Ch. Lafite Rothschild, purchased 22 years ago at our sorely-missed Rick's Wine in Alexandria, VA. The bottle was worth the wait -- stupendous. (For any wine freaks in the crowd, the white was an excellent Roero Arneis Blangé Ceretto 2019.) No wonder that -- contrary to PCF expectations -- I'm such a generally happy guy!
