    The day has come

     



    Well,

    Here I sit, looking at the calendar.

    It seems that as of this date I have somehow managed to live to the astounding age of SEVENTY FIVE! Not exactly a record, I guess, but to some people it seems to be noteworthy because I'm getting a lot of those wise-ass birthday cards people send out on such occasions.

    My lovely wife has arranged a party for me at our son's house and invited the few characters who will still admit to being my friends. I don't think I'm going to go, though. There's only going to be OLD people there and who wants to hang around those guys?

    Well God Bless you, and may you have many more. You must be doing ok if your checking this site with the rest of us car-nuts. Keep doing what you have been doing the things you enjoy, and keep the wheels turning as long as you can afford the gas. One day I’m sure Social Security will supplement our gas money.

    Happy b'day Jimbo! What a milestone!

    You're probably the best one to ask this: Why DID they name it dirt?

    It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.

    Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

    Congratulations Jim. One thing about having another Birthday, it sure beats not having one. 75 isn't all that old, move to Florida and you will be considered a teenager.

    Smucker's Jar with all the other 100+ dudes.

    Happy 75 Jim. Twenty five more to go, and you may get to meet the President of the USA. It may even be a person you want to meet by then!
    Seriously, do as Dave says, enjoy the day, and reflect on all the changes, good and bad that have come in the last 75 years!
