A BIG Happy Birthday to the man of poetry and prose - Brian / Desert Rat (DR) Make sure Suzie the Goat doesn't get at your cake
Thank you for the birthday greetings. On June 13th I am 66 years old but that is not old. To me, old is always 10-15 years older than I am. One of my best friends in Arizona is Ted Lee. Ted was an underwater demolition man in the Navy, an Alaskan fishing boat captain, a nuclear certified welder, a Hollywood stunt man and for several years he played accordion with the Lawrence Welk Band. He does not meet my specifications for old. He is only 74. He still plays accordion gigs 6 days a week, mostly for the "old folks" at retirement homes. My favorite "old" quote: "Old men like to give good advice in order to console themselves for not being any longer able to set bad examples." Francois La Rochefoucauld from "Maxims" (1665) DR
Happy Birthday to You! Happy Birthday to You! Happy Birthday to DR! Happy Birthday to You! And many moreeeeeee! Happy Birthday Desert Rat!
Happy belated! Hope it was an excellent one! :-D You're only as old as you feel, I think. I know "old" people who are younger than some "young" people.
Thank you all for the birthday wishes. Thanks for the old song Pinkiered. Took me back years to a dance. Thanks for the memory jog. DR
