For the first time in my brief life I find myself thinking about the END, wondering what my legacy will be, or how much longer I might have to establish it. My mom lived till 80+ but not sure that I will live that long.<br /><br />FYI: At fifty Sean Connery was voted one of the sexiest men on the planet. Let's see now, where was HE born? As for you and me, if our wives still find us remotely desirable at our ages we're doing OK. <br /><br />HB, Patrick.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9928836.post-88812532424815609562006-12-17T20:46:00.000-05:002006-12-17T20:46:00.000-05:00I was in a shoe shop yesterday.

My, uh, pride began to shrivel with the grace of aging. Why in the world would I want to pump something like viagara into my deflated ego to pump it back up again with all the pride and stupdity of my youth? Am I less a man or more of a man with each passing year? I think the Biblical perspective is clear on that! Thanks for sharing a bit of your light hearted perspective on birthdays!Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08759397959163308286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9928836.post-8377862260360165692006-12-14T21:23:00.000-05:002006-12-14T21:23:00.000-05:00Happy Birthday Patrick!!!!

I smiled as I read the blog, (I am only 3 years away from 50) and I have begun to realize that I can't do some of the things my minds says I can or that I use to do. The joints don't appreciate it when I try. <br />Enjoy your birthday as well as have a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9928836.post-9002048172570383452006-12-14T18:41:00.000-05:002006-12-14T18:41:00.000-05:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Reflectionshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13780674982997601789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9928836.post-47912828138599609362006-12-14T18:11:00.000-05:002006-12-14T18:11:00.000-05:00So... what are all the geezers smiling at?So... what are all the geezers smiling at?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9928836.post-16545143155453367942006-12-14T17:31:00.000-05:002006-12-14T17:31:00.000-05:00I just knew you were going to say you can't live i...I just knew you were going to say you can't live in Scotland again because you were a fugitive from justice. I realized my age when the music I hear on elevators and in department stores is the orchestral arrangement of many of my old 8-Track tapes! I play in a praise band at our church, along with two other guys my age and a keyboard player who is in 11th grade. His name is Daniel. We are affectionately known as "Daniel and the Geezers"! We played at a friend's church in Stockton recently and one of the oldest ladies in his church told him a week later that she really liked that praise band ... they sounded a lot like Lynard Skynard! I find out every day being a geezer ain't so bad ... except I used to be able to pee a lot faster. And I knew when I was done!!!Stoogeloverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14634101864997990617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9928836.post-88226268370182842482006-12-14T16:57:00.000-05:002006-12-14T16:57:00.000-05:00Happy Birthday (when it gets here)!!

I am certainly getting 'safer' around pretty women too. Is that why they are smiling?

I appreciate your humor and your candor. When was the Dead Sea sick? I don't remember it being anything but dead! I am deeply grateful that they missed you with the car...it's such a blessing to have you in my life! God Bless you richly, my friend, and HAPPY BIRTHDAY!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
