All
I was going to remain "in the closet" with respect to birthdays and came out only because of Lynn's and Gary's. This member turned on August 5th. I was in college when the Beatles issued When I'm 64, so I'm not 3x as old as when I first heard it. I loved the Bob Dylan line - Never trust anyone older than 30.
Some musings. I am blessed in so many ways. A mentor always told me that "the first wealth is health". When I was 20, and immortal, that didn't mean much, I've since learned to fully appreciate what he said. Age is more a state of mind and I don't feel or think differently from when I was young. Skiing was a passion of my young adult life, given up in my mid-40's and taken up again in late 50's. Looking back, the years away were, in many ways, the darkest of my life. Getting on skis again changed my life so much for the better. New friends and experiences to replace now departed or retired friends. I left some ashes of a great ski bud in Targhee this year, but, have great memories of a bluebird day with him there.
On the other hand, the passage of time erodes the body. Looking at pics from Jackson last year, there's no doubt who is the old guy. My bike riding is slower, can't power a golf ball as well, so, I need to keep working on being fit to stay up with ya'all. Let the journey continue.
