Happy Birthday! Age is not a number, it's a state of mind. If I ever start thinking of myself as a grown-up, then it's time have the Vet put me to sleep!

I'll be hitting 53 next month. Remember, once you get over the hill, you start to pick up speed. (wouldn't be a bad idea to bleed the brakes)

Yeah, I bleed the brakes; 3-4 times a night
I don't act 61, but there are parts of my body that refuse to follow my lead Luckily my right foot still does

I turn 50 in May and I'm running my second marathon with my oldest kid on my birthday. I'm feeling better at 50 than I did at 40. So continue to enjoy life to it's fullest, don't slow down, and to hell with those that tell you that you shouldn't behave like you're 10 years old.

I turn 59 in Sept., knees giving out but the 68 vette keeps me young. When I get into the vette I don't think about age anymore but what is ahead. Without the vette I think I would be feeling different and OLD. Keep truckin.

thanks guys for your support and happy birthday wishes....i think we belong to a special class of people or maybe a part of each of us does...we're special because we never grow up fully, this means that we always have doubts about 'what kind of life' is worth living and the curiosity for 'alternatives', well, at least i have
i definitely am one of those that pretty often say to themselves 'what the f....', like for example: 'what the f...' am i doing here....or' wtf i've been doing up to now....
i need to have horizons at catch even if far away, and the best way to get there is my vette
...and i owe a special apology to jughead for introducing too much 'poetry' into the forum
