Shoot...twenty more years at least. Fifty five is a great time. Old enough for some perspective, to have a sense of humor about all those twenty and thirtysomethings thinking they've got a lock on where life is going, young enough to get out and play, to do new things, to enjoy having raised or not raised kids and not having to worry about whether either they or you is going to make it to the toilet in time...it rocks, mostly.

Clouds, now, that's another story. Bastards.

12. Happy Birthday! Didn't Sammy Hagar do a song about that? "I Can't Drive at Fifty Five"?

and attempt to continue the learning process. I'll probably just be humbled beyond measure, though.

I can see myself doing this, alright!

But go pick out the walker you want; the raised toilet seat; get your eyes checked; get used to snap, crackle, pop in the morning.

Happy Birthday to you!

AND remember, only worry if you wake up to organ music; overwhelming smell of flowers and an angel standing at the food of your bed.
