| From This |
I can remember while very
young I thought someone my current age was ancient. It seemed like such a distant fate at the
time that I didn’t even pause to consider how fast it would sneak up on
me. I learning a great appreciation of the old phrase - young at heart.

It’s been an extremely cool
day already. The wife demanded the right
to prepare breakfast and then showered me with gifts. She looks at my birthdays as a great
opportunity to pursue her marriage-long practice of dressing up her oversized Ken
doll. So I have a lot of new clothes and
thankfully some new pants that fit.
Since I dropped the weight this year I’ve been wearing pants three inches
too big in the waist. My beloved sister
in law describes them as looking like a window curtain bunched up around my
waist.
My daughter called first
thing and we discussed her gift which arrived yesterday. A blu ray and two books – talk about getting
one into my wheelhouse. As with most
things in life she was right on target.
She also has a much better written blog than I could ever hope to achieve
and today she dedicated it to me. She
put together a gif that shows the playoff beard progressing from inception of
ultimate destruction. Check it out at:
I get one of the most looked forward to gifts tonight when my son shows up for the weekend. Since this is one of the two days a year that my wife is in complete thrall to my wishes (hmmmm – writing that makes it sound kind of seedy but I digress) I’ve declared that tomorrow is an afternoon trip back to my hometown for a pub crawl. It combines two of the activities I really cherish, returning home and hanging out with friends in a pub. Oh and there might be a beer or two involved. I’m hoping a few friends can join us as we meander tomorrow. Details posted in tomorrow morning's blog.
