IT'S MY BIRTHDAY !!!

I've survived one more year !! I'm happy to say that I'm still closer to 50 than I am to 100, but the mid-point is not that far over the horizon. Scary !!

I'm having relatives over this evening to share cake and ice cream, and present a few gifts. The teenagers will be whispering " How old IS that dude, anyway? Does the State still let him drive?"

There are a few things that DO get scary when you reach my age. Like about half the stuff in my shopping cart says "For Fast Relief". Also it's scary when my body starts making the same noises as my coffeemaker.

Finally, my memory's not as sharp as it used to be. Also, my memory's not as sharp as it used to be.
