Happy Birthday, Jourdan!



We all chipped in to get you a little something. Since you travel allot, the Krug Trunk de Blanc was what we had in mind. It's so portable!



But at just over $60,000 we decided a more prudent gift would be in order. Lady red found just the thing - the Krug Escape Artists - which hold only one or two bottles but are a steal at $18,000 a pop. She couldn't decide on the color so we got you all three: the Blue Trunk is set up for cigar lovers, the Red Trunk is for poker players, and the Silver contains a Samsung T9 MP3 video player with Bluetooth, a JBL “On Tour Plus” sound system, and a bottle of Krug Rosé.



It's not a proper birthday without cake. Fay created another one of her culinary masterpieces, a lovely mille-feuilles cake (so there would be enough for all).


I chose a truss from one of my rhodos, R. keleticum, especially for you.



Happy Birthday, we love ya!

      Pssst: it gains speed as the numbers climb, just like a speedometer. I'm approaching the speed of light as we speak :D

    3. I do not have t-shirts older than Jourdan. If anything I'd have diapers that are older, and we got rid of all those...

      Happy birthday Jourdan! Fifty is closer than it looks. Trust me...
