I'll be 73 in November. Dr. told me I look twice my age. Sounded pretty good to me. I felt like I was dead. It looks promising. I'll anticipate expensive Firearm related gifts this year for my Birthday from my Sig Forum Friends. Its been 20 years here. Be sure the gifts are in really nice or new Condition with small return address cards on them. My Widow will make sure they all come back to you well cared for and clean. I love you Guys!....Thank you all in advance. E-Mail is still in my Profile. You Guys are so nice and Generous....Thank you in advance. Zebulon

I am 61 and I have started playing the game of looking at the obituaries to see how many were older than me and how many were younger.

Just celebrated my 79th birthday

I have seen the passing of four of my lady-friends, three much younger than I, and several of my male friends. The men were contemporaries.

As long as my health and mental facilities maintain, I hope for another decade, perhaps more.

Yep. Blink*blink, hello*goodbye.

When Sheepdip over on GB found out he had a few months, he posted, in exasperation, "Is this all there is?"

So enjoy that nice walk in the park. Splurge on an eclair at the Italian bakery once in a while. And my favorite, if a cute cashier wants to be a little chatty, I slow things up a beat. Stretch it out.

Happy Birthday and welcome to the club. I will be 72 tomorrow. I get up every morning come to the office...have no thoughts of retiring.

Spent the last 45 years helping with the local volunteer fire dept/EMS...last part as chief. Finally gave it up last Feb. I shoot IDPA with a local group 2-3 a month. Just because you are "over the hill" does not mean you have to lay down and die.

....I imagined (decades later) the cooling fins on the Enola Gay were still cracking & snapping when I was delivered into this vale ...

I'm still airworthy, pretty much, for another mission or 2.....
