Not that he doesn't like a pint or a glass (or three) of wine when the 
time is right. :-)

I think the phrase "young at heart" applies - but yes, hoping for a good 
long life for him.

Here in the US, it wouldn't have been much.  I think the company would 
probably have covered it.  But also, there is perhaps an irony that 
people may not have dialed for fear of causing more harm. ;-)

Yeah; I'm pretty sure I spelt the name wrong (or as Shaun would say, 
"wrongly".)  Good Mexican food is actually quite bland - the hot stuff 
tends to be Tex-Mex instead.  I spent a couple weeks in Mexico back in 
the early 80's and *really* liked the food I had there.  There's a couple 
places in Salt Lake City that do good Mexican food as well, might have to 
track some down for lunch today.  Mmmm...
