Next Friday, January 27th, 2011 will be Charlie's 65th birthday.
If anyone would like to congratulate him on becoming eligible for Medicare, we are in the US VirginIslands, and our USA cell phones work here.
We expect to be in Cruz Bay, Saint John, on Friday, and all friends are invited to join us at Woodys in Cruz Bay at 5:00 for happy hour. We hear that beer and well drinks are $1.00 each
