My twenty-first birthday. After the revellers had drunk the place dry and the party had begun to wind down, my father dug out a 21 year old bottle of Poitin, which he said, continued to dispense its magic if one drank water the next day. The theory was tested and not found wanting.

My twenty-first birthday. After the revellers had drunk the place dry and the party had begun to wind down, my father dug out a 21 year old bottle of Poitin, which he said, continued to dispense its magic if one drank water the next day. The theory was tested and not found wanting.
I was born on this day, in Detroit.
The day I was born, just east of Philadelphia.
