Party Time!

Despite the wishes and best efforts of the Sister* and the bookies...39 today and Counting!



Deal with it!



I got a text from her late last night...all it said was "Bite my Butt." I try to be a loving brother and this is the thanks I get.

  2. You're welcome.

    My birth was positioned to save you all from the most depressing day of the year.

    Thank you sir.

  3. 39. A magnificent age. Old enough to know stuff, and young enough to put it into practice.

    Welcome to your Prime, Mister!

  4. Happy Birthday! Many happy returns. But not too many. Just the right amount and a few spares.

  6. 39! You wee nipper!
    Mind you - 40 next... you not feeling the fear?? Cos it gallops in after that (she said, adjusting her bi-focals and checking the zimmer frame). Just think - incontinence pads and mushy food will be yours in no time at all...
    Happy Birthday e.f. (she said with true happy feeling)...x

  7. Thank you kindly ma'am.

    No fear, at least, at this point. I'd rather be 40 than repeat 20 again.

    I don't know if it's just me or a general thing with certain people my age but, I grew up around a bunch of baby-boomer adults. They made such asses of themselves trying to deny their age...trying to deny, and in the process denying themselves of, the natural stages of life and constantly intruding on the space that should naturally be yielded to the next round of folks...i don't want any part of that nonsense.

    Of course, that's easy to say when you're so good that if you were any better you'd have to be twins.

    :)

    1. Yeah - and me too e.f. Who in their right mind would be 20 again!! Said as much when at the pub on Sat night...in a drunken haze and laughing at my daughter and her pals and all their hang-ups...
      40 is not so bad. Strangely I am fascinated by the thought of 50 - seems to me that 50 is a very grown-up type of age and that I really ought to be an adult by that time...
      And of course you are just perfect. If you were chocolate you'd eat yourself (as my old Maw says)...x

  8. Happy birthday! If you were in Australia you'd have a summer birthday, which is nice, except for the being in Australia part.

  9. Thank you. Thank you.

    It wouldn't be a bad deal...I hate even the mild winters we get here.

  10. Happy birthday (and so sorry to be a day late)! Yes, you're still a young'un... I think 60 is the new 40 these days so by the time YOU get to 60 it'll be the new 20. And then you'll have the best of both worlds, all that wisdom and experience and mellowness we don't have at 20 but you'll still be thought of as youthful... It's sounding good, isn't it? Many happy returns.
