I have a little border collie asleep at my feet and a nice whiskey in my hand.
We had my parents over for dinner and cake today. Dad is almost 89 and mom isn't too far behind.

Spent most of the day with my son and we chopped and stacked some wood for the camping season. Pretty damn good day.

Cheers!

Sounds so good - could be a Cabella's commercial.......

54?

Fukc, I'm 63, strangely I'm looking forward to 65 when I can retire and get Medicare, although I've heard that isn't any great shakes.

Middle age is just a memory.
Like Baz I will be 63 in June.
I must say I am having more fun in many ways than back then but the body will not take the abuse without complaint or consequence.
Best

I'm 66 and I feel great. Except for a few foot problems. My dad died at 66 and he seemed to me to be old. Well, thats another story. But I still feel good now so, hey what, lets get into the next story of our young lives.

^my grandmother passed away a few days short of 106 back in December. She lived at home, had a drivers license, still drove her car (!!!)...it was clear that outliving everyone (all her siblings, my grandfather and two of her daughter's husbands) weighed on her. She was ready to go and in the last 2 years or so often would say "I don't know why I am still here"

Happy birthday Billy.

106! Wow that is a long life.

My dad was a weldor and is still alive at almost 89. My mom is still very mobile and with it at 87. Hoping that some of that longevity is pass along.

Most of my parents friends have passed on and mom is pretty lonely these days so I can understand why someone would question weather living past a certain age would be a good thing.

Thanks for the good wishes, gentlemen.
