Wait till you turn 50. Actually, think of every year as progressive.

Happy B-Day.

I turned 65 about ten days ago. My best year was age 42. But considering the alternative, 65 isn’t bad. FDR was president when I came along. I remember Truman and Ike, and was a couple of years too young to vote for JFK when I was on active duty. Didn’t like LBJ. Learned later what a real snake he was. Spent the worst of the Carter years on base where I didn’t need any gas. Wait! They were all worst years. Welcomed RWR along with my State Department in an apartment in Jeddah. Watched GHWB’s inauguration on AFTV in Buenos Aires. Was very upset with GHWB when he didn’t go into Baghdad; I shamefully admit that as a protest I voted for the bent one, and have lived to regret that. Wrote in Powell/Schwarzkopf in a mock election in 1996 in Havana. Worked hard for GWB in both elections. Hope the next 65 are as good.
