HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

I myself have wandered down a similar rabbit-hole to yours, being near-destitute, with one divorce (because I married WAY too young), and (at 59) still don't know what I want to do when I grow up. Like you, I have gone where life has taken me, and I have now been with my wonderful Brenda for 28 years, and, like you, secure, happy, and content. The road getting to here was a bit like crossing a mine field (and even detonating some,) but it is good to be at peace in one's world, eh? Neither you nor I can ever elude our "Appointment in Samarra," but we can enjoy and appreciate what we have while we have it, and we can do everything we can (in our minuscule ways) to make the world a better place.

Raising a glass to ya!

Cheers,

David

Heinlein -- whose health issues were supposed to have killed him back in the 1930's, then again in the 1960's, then again in the 1980's -- wrote at the far side of these adventures that, "age is not an accomplishment and youth is not a crime." (The last part, I'm fairly sure, was for the farts in his own generation.)

Happy Birthday!
