These decade b-days are always big. Each one causes you too look back and look ahead. I don't have any words of wisdom other than, use sun screen to protect you skin, brush your teeth at least once a day and for god sake use ear protection around loud music or you will be hearing zzzzzzzssssszzzz 24/7.

I think Eddie and I are two years ahead of Dan, so we would appreciate a six-foot rim, and continue to lower it each year.

The book on marriage says "treat you wife like you did on your first date".
So after supper I'm dropping her off at her parents' house.

Luv it, Mario smile

Congratulations on making it this far. I'm headed to 69 very soon..... I still can't get my mind around that. Lot's of my friends and family have dropped out of the race along the way.... I'm gonna go a couple more decades before I throw in the towel. At least that's the plan and so far so good.
