I'll be 59

[Daniel]

in 2 hrs.

I'm more excited about Labor Day.

I'm such a nerd.

I have no plans for my birthday and that's the way I want it.

I'm glad it's not my 60th birthday.

It's not that I don't want to be 60.

It's not that I think there's a dime's worth of difference between being 59 and being 60.

It's that it's been a tough if great year and I'm glad I don't need to think about any "landmark" x0 birthday.

Cheers.

Happy Birthday!

I’ll be 58 on Thursday.

Bah. You kids get off my lawn.

Daniel, you might be surprised. I HATED 50 and was dreading 60. But I found 60 a most enjoyable age for reasons known only to God. I really liked 70 too.

@jon-nyc It gets better (snicker)

Mik, I liked 50. I thought- I've survived for half a century. I doubt I like it care much about any other x0 birthdays. I wish I similar feelings about aging or maybe I do. I'm look forward to making the most of the time I have left and it's an exceptional time in my life now. I'm not looking forward to getting old, getting sick, or dying.

I never liked the idea of dying. My saint of mother sat me down one day and explained life and death. People die. Dogs die. I freaked out, crying and the rest of it. I think I was 3.

Thank God my father was a realist. He's the one who was the strong, calm person in the family when there was a loss.

This was from when his mother died when I was 17 unit my sister several years ago.

Here I can only point you to my sig line you know I lifted from you. : ;
