Joyeux Anniversaire à vous, Pierre!

Paris, France, 1992

 Elegant early-adaptor Pierre, seen above clutching
his champagne in eager anticipation of all those tiny bubbles
cascading over his tongue, dancing around his mouth, then
going to his head.  (To think that the best that 6-year-old
 Americans can hope for on festive occasions is a plastic cup
of Kool-Aid or sparkling cranberry juice.  Not fair!) 
  C'est la vie.


All the Best on Your Big Day, Pierre. 
See you soon in NYC!


We don't need no steenking Kool-Aid.
