The Web Conference is in San Francisco bringing together a lot of pioneers.
It is almost tear jerking to meet many people from the good old days.
That evening I am inducted as a Compagnon du Beaujolais. https://www.compagnons-du-beaujolais.com
Hilarious evening in fancy French restaurant.
I have to swear to promote Beaujolais and then drink a lot of the stuff from a silver tassie.
We all have a slap up dinner and drink far too much Beaujolais.
Wonderful singing. https://youtu.be/7mMlru-gGYk
The Quiet Ripple Defines The Pond 
Interesting to see Robert C again. Must be some 22 or more years since I last saw him and a year or two more than that when he demonstrated the early Web browser to Judith and I.

Great to see Robert again!
