"BUM WINES"

[paularubia]

Hello! Did you know there is a Wikipedia entry for "bum wines"? As in wines that bums drink? Well, there is. I stumbled across this important tidbit after I saw this 1967 ad for Mogen David wine that appeared in the pages of Ebony magazine:

Happy belated birthday, by the way! I saw your name on my wall calendar from last year (still haven't bought a new one and transferred the birthdays... do they still sell 2013 calendars?) and thought about you happily and fondly yesterday. I hope that your day was delightful and that you ate some kind of delicious cake or confection.

Thank you! You can probably scrounge up calendars on Amazon -- I found one about a month ago at a dollar store. My birthday was low-key but nice. I did partake of a delicious confection, and today I am attempting to wean myself off sugar and sugar substitutes for a few days to see if my health benefits from it. And because, you know, I'm not getting any younger! (Felix is very cute!) Thanks again.
