Happy birthday, Pauline ( a bit late since I was touring the Canadian Maritimes...where they are terrified of what the climate is doing to them.)

You have many proud achievements.

I've just had a Big birthday, too. Thank you for offering an example of a summing up.

You've done a lot. You've ridden the cusp of the wave of civilization. I'm a bit older (20 years) and I have also enjoyed a charmed life. I've been a soldier, a cowboy, a horse trainer, a mule skinner, a back country packer, a farmer, a rancher, a spur maker, a rawhide braider, a musician (fiddle and banjo), a river runner (owned my own boat), a husband (2x) a father and a grandfather. I am still a "ham radio operator" having earned my FCC General Class license at age 11. It all has just been so much fun. I have learned to speak, read, and write the Thai language, and am passable with my Spanish. I always wanted to own a sailboat and go around the world with the wind. I haven't and probably wont. This whole thing of life has been a bunch lot of fun and I can truly say I have enjoyed all of it. I have been so privileged to have been born when I was. No one ever has had it better than me and my generation. There is yet more to come. For the rest, just so I have enough popcorn for the final scenes. It's going to be interesting. My wife and I cultivate a big vegetable garden, we have a root cellar, and a green house. We plan to share for as long as possible. I enjoy your musings and those of Dr. MacPhearson. (hope I spelled the last name correctly) From the High Desert sincerely, BP

Happy birthday. I won't email Guy cause I know he has better things to do than answer another email from Bill. Lol

I'll be turning 60 this year too. I expect to hear some bells or something that only I know the meaning of like on Bewitched.
