Hey Nancy!

In the case of UUIDs, there are the Version 1 and 2 UUIDs that incorporate the 
MAC address and datetime stamp of the local machine.  Version 3 and 5 UUIDs 
encorporate namespaces instead of date and MAC addresses.  Personally I prefer 
the purely random Version 4 UUIDs.

Since then I have had my doubts about it making it to the 2019-01-01 
cybertoast.

Speaking of single malts, it turns out there are two local sources (Vancouver 
Island).  Neither gives the age of their offerings but I don't believe they 
have been around long enough to have a 12yo.

 NB> after all, the next one is a decade year for me

I didn't know that.  Thank you for the heads up.

 NB> There is that bottle that your daughters bought you

Dec 1997 which is just over 20 years ago.  A very tough act to follow.

Life is good,
Maurice

    2019-01-01 is  334 days from now and falls on a Tuesday.
