I
wish I could figure out how old you are but I hate doing long math!
I
know birthdays get worse as you get older but, on the bright side, you don’t
have that many left! Also, statistics show that people who have the most
birthdays live longer!
As you
got older I saw that life finally started to click for you… well, at least your
knees, back and neck started to click. You know you are old when almost
everything hurts, and what doesn't hurt doesn't work.
People
look at you strangely when you ask for a piece of tinfoil for the leftover
pizza.
One
minute you’re young and fun, and the next you’re turning down the stereo so you
can see better.
At
16 you loved it when your favorite song came on the radio, and then at 21 you
loved hearing your favorite song in a bar, and then you started hearing your
favorite song in the grocery store.
You
have become that person that gets really excited for gifts like a
high-quality pair of slippers, a programmable thermostat, or a set of durable
socks.
When
you used to tell people your age, they’d always say, “Oh, you look so much
younger,” but now you just get an awkward silence. But don’t worry about aging,
you’re still gonna do dumb stuff, only slower. And don’t think of it as getting
old, think of it as outliving the warranty.
Happy Birthday, we still have a few more good years in us.

ReplyDeleteTuxedo is such a card. Happy birthday you sweet young thing.
ReplyDeleteI sing along and dance with my cart when I hear the old songs of my youth in the grocery store! ;) Have a terrific birthday and a fabulous year, Bob!
ReplyDeleteTuxedo: Tell your dad I said Happy Birthday and many more.
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday and many more. 🎂🍾
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Bob!! I know Carlos has been in the kitchen all day. Let's see what he comes up with. I jest. It's more like where is he talking you for dinner, get you drunk, and take advantage of you. Many more birthdays to come my dear!! XXOO
ReplyDeleteAre blog visitors allowed to say "Happy Birthday!" to you Bob? Only, you can be so grumbly that perhaps saying "Happy Birthday!" might rile you. Even so on this, the occasion of your 69th birthday, I will risk a loud "HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" before running for cover.
