I’m eighty years old as of today!

Life begins at eighty they say. No, wait… it’s life begins at forty. Darn.

Oh well, I bought a bottle of Courvoisier VSOP – will enjoy that! And a bag of that SIGforum mainstay, Dot’s Pretzels!

P. S. – “Roger Dodger, you old codger” just sprang into my mind for some reason…

Serious about crackers.

Wow! That's awesome. Congratulations.

Andy Rooney said it best, I don't have a verbatim quote, but it went something like this:

I didn't plan on getting old, it just happened, and it'll happen to you too, if you're lucky--Andy Rooney.

You are lucky, Mr. Pipe Smoker. Congratulations to you again.

(Oh, and remember, don't have more fun than the law allows).

Happy Birthday! I always get a bottle of either the Courvoisier VSOP or Hennessy VSOP on my birthday. I'm not too far behind you there.
