Happy Birthday! I occasionally have to stop and do the math when asked my age. When I was a kid, I always knew how old I was, because so much was riding on the number.
Happy significant decade, Chum. 75th was one of my fave celebrations 'cause Doc told me I no longer needed colonoscopies. Now my pain in the arse is limited to the news.
Happy Birthday, Brian! You will receive a week's free supply of Quaker's Cream of Wheat in honor of the occasion.
I was born in the Year of the Dragon. I'm not a believer in the astrological nonsense, and yet, every Year of the Dragon, something big has happened in my life:
1952: Birth
1964: Puberty
1976: My first child, a son (also a dragon), was born.
1988: I quit my steady job at Kenmore Air Harbor as a seaplane mechanic and went out on my own.
2000: I met my second wife and moved from Edmonds, WA, to Healdsburg, CA.
2012: My old school friend and I wrote the movie screenplay. It took all year to write.
2024: Broken hip. Broken ankle. Old Age begins as I gimp around.
Well, Happy Belated Birthday! BTW, both age and glasses of wine should never, ever be counted. Just saying....

DCS, you can still do math?

I'm not sure I'll see 2036.
