Happy Birthday To Me

64 today...retired and mostly happy. Five adult kids that are independent and paying taxes, and five grandchildren. Mrs. Robert is in the kitchen, with the garlic sizzling on the way to a fine tomato gravy; I'll be tasked to go procure some bread knots soon, but for now, putting my feet up and just relaxing.

If you can hold out until then, it's worth it. Never been happier than this before.

Mmm, home made tomato gravy...

Happy Birthday, RC! And, something to look forward to? Next year you get Medicare, and you can start drawing your SS if you're so inclined. (You've got a whole year to make your decision.)
