Loved this vintage postcard I found. Such a simple rule that we all should live by. When you open wine you should drink it and enjoy. I particularly like the rosy cheeks! Can't seem to imbed the picture but here is the link

Record amounts of fried Calamari and Japanese Tempura. Gallons of multicolored liquids consumed without visibly swallowing. Love every minute of time with this accomplished young man nicknamed "Jeeves" as he chauffeurs us everywhere.
