....and stumbled across an old doorway I had forgotten about. It is behind the Toltec head I got from Homer Simpson.

"How could I forget about an original Mayan doorway imported to my home?" I asked myself.

I had to jimmy the lock, but it opened into an underground cavern and lake system where I used to sit and listen to my array of Western Electric gear via original master tapes, one of which was taken from the even better Kind of Blue second set Miles played and you have never heard.

I was so happy to be reminded I had all this, I popped an imperial of 1945 Rothschild and we went through a case of black truffles over simple 1,000 dollar per kilo pasta (made from extinct typs of artisan produced grain from ancient Italy) with some 40,000 dollar per liter olive oil (expressed from olives that will only be sold to those who pass a rigorous taste testing regimen to prove one's worthiness) for some friends I decided to fly in on my octuple hyper-sonic private jet.

We dined on gold plates from Ramses II's private collection. Then, we popped a few bottles of Bollinger salvaged from the Titanic with some Beluga caviar and I said, "You know, Bill Gates, Elvis Presley, and Steve Jobs (they aren't really dead, just hanging at my place,) it just doesn't get much better than this."

We finished the night in style: After the servants lugged down every turntable priced at 100,000 dollars or above for a shoot out, we had a hummingbird tongue tart spiced with silphium (yes, I know, extinct, but I have a supply) and downed it with some 1811 Château d'Yquem.

Now, I know what you are thinking, "But, that vintage is from after Jacques de Sauvage sold out to Léon de Sauvage d'Yquem!" But, if it's good enough for Louis XV, it's good enough for an after dinner treat with Elvis, Bill, and Steve.

Yup, it was great. But, not as great as the time....
