nearing 50,  but still feel like i'm 28!

When I turned 50 I told people I feel better today than the day I turned 20, of course the day I turned 20 I was in the hospital with, as the Navy doctor said "the worst case of mono he'd ever seen".

If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.

Closest to the ground, at any rate.....


41 here.....

My mother and father lived to 92. One of my mother's sisters lived to 94, as did my dad's older brother. My mother's grandmother lived to 102.

I think a lot of others are closer to the ground than I am. ;)

Hey, I don't even have to do that! I'll be 35 this year.

And checking the math... I don't care to be 23 again, so I'll stick with decimal for now.

I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

Just came to the realization a couple of days ago that I am the oldest executive in the building where I work.  That includes even the senior management.  I've never been in that situation before.  Weird, it is.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.
