I can hear Francis Albert sing....

When I was 51, it was a very good year...

Happy Birthday Melania (especially if your team is lerking here!)

At the gathering at Joint Base Andrews when he left office to fly back to Florida, they played that song as his plane was taxiing the runway before take off. I had never really "heard" the last verse before, but wow, how it fit the moment:

For what is a man, what has he got?
If not himself, then he has naught
To say the things he truly feels
And not the words of one who kneels
The record shows
I took the blows
And did it my way
