It's Tax Day USA. Pish! As Ben Franklin said, "...nothing is certain but death and taxes".He also said, "wine is constant proof that God loves us and loves to see us happy". What genius. Mr. Franklin had preceded Mr. Jefferson as Minister to France, a new post, and it was there that he discovered his fondness for fine wines.
Benny displayed many admirable traits; good taste in wine, an innovative and inventive mind, and fiscal responsibility...which is more than can be said for the current, Chardonnay swilling, occupant of the White House.
Old Ben has to be my favourite Founding Father. In fact, I like him so much, I like to carry lots of little portraits of him around with me in my purse.
