It's official. I am now a certified Old Fart, having progressed from Jr. Geezer to full-fledged Geezer.
The Big Five-Oh has arrived, and I don't mean the ones who drive up in black and white Fords.
Yeah, it's been forever and a day since I last posted, but I'm still around. As to writing more productively, we'll see. That's a hurdle, but I've cleared a few of those in my time.
Anyway, I'm just sayin', it's good to be here.
You've cleared half a century! Congrats and Happy Birthday!

I'm just a few years behind ya, Jim. I've decided to go along with the "we're getting better" crowd.
Gratz to you, and enjoy your day!

Well, Happy Birthday Shipmate!! You young pup! Would be nice to see fifty again ... be better to see thirty. *grin*
Seriously, hope you have a relaxing day full of hedonistic pleasure(s) as we should all be allowed a bit of this when reaching the half century mark.
Great to see you posting again, btw, and as the muse strikes, hope to see more.

So we should call off the search party?
Happy Birthday, Jim. I'm glad to see you back in the game.

Welcome back and happy birthday. I'd deleted you out of my favorites a while back but just hit the Grouchy Crip's link and there you were again. Missed your writings.

Well, if it's any consolation, you sure do look great. Happy birthday, dude. Maybe a post a little more often than bi-yearly?

Happy belated! Stop with the Over-the-Hill stuff already. I'm right behind you (8/11), and I refuse to grow up... let alone consider that hill.
