“50 isn’t old.... if you’re a tree”
LOL. Sounds like the old Miss America question: “If you were a tree, what kind of tree would you be?” Personally, I like oaks: it’s the best hard wood around.
There are any number of 80+ year olds who would be 50 again in a minute.
Good wine ages well. You just have to keep in mind how wonderful it is to NOT be 21.
And Happy Birthday.
Happy Birthday, Andy

Yes, life is good. And that’s why we call today the present—because it is a gift from God.
You have lived in the best fifty years of American history in the best country on the planet.
Welcome to the plus fifty side of life—this is when life really begins.
Make the most of each day. Many don’t get the privilege of making it to fifty.
And the water really is fine, so jump in.
Do you still have your hair?
Funny you listed tropicalglen.com—I have it playing in the background right now. 1961.
~Happy Birthday!!~
The two of us sat alone, and enjoyed very pleasant conversation for an hour. Although I'm certain he knew, I never acknowledged that he was a superstar, or that I was a fan.
It was very kool, and one the more interesting experiences I've had.
I have shared this story with several people. Most of the time I'm met with blank expressions, and "Tony who?".
Young people piss me off. Happy birthday.
From here on it is important to be taciturn, nod your head and say wise things.
Yeah, I’m 53 and can relate to the wild and impetuous youth and the changes that take place through life. As Bowie once said, “Ch-ch-ch-changes”, less we forget. Have a happy birthday!
Stay off the internet health sites.

Hickory is the hardest wood... - Start of the coolest ditty that I ever read on a restroom wall. Not work safe...
And although I still can't stop looking at the babes, I've grown old enough that I would have to really chase them cause they certainly aren't running to me ..
Yes, but now it's on my back
LOL. Thank you; and of course I remember Tony Curtis. He was a son of Hungarian Jewish immigrants; I was the grandson of the same crazy bunch.
