My birthday is coming up in September, I was thinking of purchasing a French Napoleon cognac to celebrate my 49th birthday, the last time I had some cognac was eight years ago, but I may not do it, because I have my meds and it would not good for me, so no cognac in this birthday either. Have you ever tasted this French Napoleon cognac? it tastes quite good, but I must continue my life without Napoleon
There have been two persons in the history who tried to conquer Russia: Hitler and Napoleon and both failed.
Russia is a great nation and we have the common border. My grandfather was born in Viborg during the Russian occupation in 1899 and today this city Viborg is a part of the Russian Federation. The rest of my ancestry is from Eastern Finland.
I may have similar thoughts that Russians have, but when I lived in my auto in Miami, some Russians knew that I was not Russian, they commented ‘he is not Russian’, there have been situations when some people have asked my opinion what the Russian Federation does in certain circumstances.
My sister studied in the Soviet Union many years in the 1980s, when there was a power change in Ukraine in Kiev few years ago, she knew immidiately that there will be a war in Ukraine as it was between Russian loyalists and the Ukrainian army.
It has been long time since these events happened, but I must tell anyway. Back in 2003 my father’s brother had bought a bottle of this French Napoleon cognac and when we, I am my father, visited his, he wanted to give some cognac to my grandmother’s brother who was still alive and lived in the farm in Eastern Finland, and then after our visit we visited this old man in his farm and he was very happy when he got a little bottle of this cognac, but he, although he was over 80 years old, had an intuition that it was not good for America to go to the war in Iraq and it would not be as easy as they marketed in news, and quess what, he was right, and the war in Iraq lasted many years. He had just this intuition. Now these people, except I and my father, are dead, the time has passed.
I have another funny cognac story. This was in my old life in Americas. I had a cruise in Caribbean and on the cruise ship I had bought a bottle of good cognac. Then I met one Israelian who had traveled in the Far-East Asia and was now on the same cruise ship to Jamaica, Grand Cayman and Mexico. Then once I asked him to come to my cabin and served him some of this cognac and he started talking. He told how Bill Clinton did not care about Russians, which changed some of my views on the Clinton administration. And then came the war in Kosova and in the White House they expected it to last the short time, but it did not and the war continued long to May 1999 and eventually they made a stop to it. Somehow in the beginning of 1999 I knew that the war would last, thanks for that Israelian young man who got stoned in Jamaica
You are probably right, I probably do not have this French Napoleon cognac on my birthday, anyway it is good cognac, if anybody wants to try it, although with meds it may not be a good idea.
Ok, I have decided not to have any French Napoleon cognac on my birthday. Maybe it is the best decision.
Something about my grandfather. Well, it can be said in one sentence what my cousin said years ago. ‘Our grandfather was Russian but was on the side of Finns in the 2nd World War’. My father did not recognize him when he, my grandfather, returned from the war because he had a long beard, he did speak Russian which is quite beneficial here in Eastern Finland.
There is a good point here also, I live alone and I have rarely fun, so it might not be a good idea to have some cognac and have some fun by myself. Well, September is coming and my mind may change as it comes. Let’s see what happens.
