B-day Celebrations
Thank you. It was a good day...lots of food and fun with family. Too much food.... I need to start a diet.... tomorrow...
To top off the celebrations....my wife made a comment about buying an Elite Avante Garde for me as a belated B-day gift.
65...regards,
Dave

Hi Fern,
I hope you have recovered well from all the eating and drinking!
I wish you and your family many more years in good health and enjoying your chesscomputers. Apparently I already gave you a birthdaypresent without knowing .
And keep up the posting, you are one of those that keep this forum alive and kicking!
@Dave, congrats too, I hope you get your Avant Garde soon!
Edit: And as for the diet: there is a Spanish saying for starting it: Mañana!
(which you can repeat every day...)
Becoming 70 in july regards,
Paul

Ha! on my map you are an inch away from T.O. Capricorn.. that's close enough Besides you feel chillier because of those big ass mountains which I see here on a postcard backdrop.Fernando wrote:Tropical? Nick, this is country with a weather completely different to tropical. Not because behind my back there is a tree or plants you must at once imagine gorillas and chimpanzees lurking around., hahaha.spacious_mind wrote:Such a happy couple and what a lovely tropical summer background. Add a glass of Chilean red wine and cake and you can't get much better than that to celebrate your 68th Birthday Fern!
Best regards
Santiago where I live is like California.

No. I bought it personally in one of my trips to the apple. Steve, when he gives me something, is always a chess comp.spacious_mind wrote:Ha! on my map you are an inch away from T.O.

BTW, Chile is so long that if the North is near Capricorn., the south is near the pole. Santiago is in the middle, Mediterranean kind of climate....before global warming.

Yes, I know I always wanted to go to Chile when I lived for a year Brasil but never got around to it. Someone had told me that you have these hot springs in the top of the Andean Mountains in which you could bathe which sounded cool. Can't remember though if that was in Chile or further north. I think Chile. The closest I got to Chile was Paraguay and Argentina.Fernando wrote:No. I bought it personally in one of my trips to the apple.

Actually I think I might have been thinking about Peru and hot springs:
No forget it... it is Ecuador I wanted to go to!!
I am positive now... it definitely wasn't in Chile!
That looks like the water in my washing machine.... either that or people bathe a lot outdoors with the gorillas! .... lmao...
Just joking Fern...

I am not concerned by age, BUT for the things it brings: poverty, sexual declination, sadness, deterioration of mental acumen and ugliness in all its forms...SirDave wrote:A belated happy birthday to the birthday boys, Dave & Fern. If either of you are the least bit concerned with aging, do what I do: Imagine if a 75 or 78 year old was told they could suddenly be 65 or 68 again!
Apart of that, all is OK ...

Cheapest, of course, is not having none.
