I love that song...

And I believe that Donna is still there, right by your side, smiling ...

I was sort of surprised to make it to the big change from 1999 - 2000, and surprised again recently when I reached 75. Hope you have a few more surprises!

You and me both... about getting this far. Seems like it was just yesterday when the Beatles published that song. Time has a way of just zipping by, doesn't it? It's funny though... I still feel like that young swooning teenager who flipped over the Beatles. Have a great Birthday.

Good to remember as we think about our vivid young lives as boomers and the wonderful sound track to life we grew up with!

Happy birthday, hobbit709! I left my birthday wishes for you in GD, where you are a powerful presence for Call Me Wesley and me. I hope you feel, on your birthday and every day, the embrace of your tribe, including your Donna.

When I was helling around as a hot-shot fighter jock (in my own mind, anyway) I didn't plan on making 35.

In my 20s I was hanging my ass out over the line on a weekly basis.
And now, here I am.
Soon to turn 73.
With a couple of grandkids.
Whew.
Lucky me, but where did all the time go?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
MANY HAPPY RETURNS OF THE DAY!
