BDAY TODAY
I am 76 today.
Questions from the crowd: Do you feel any different? No. Do you feel any older? No. Are you really 76? Yes.
You don't look it.
Ahhhhh. That is the reaction I was looking for.
In a few months I will be saying that I am 77 just so I can get that reaction.
If I looked like an old fart I would not do that.
I don't.
I look and feel just fine. Like always, more or less.
I have had times in my life when I felt a whole lot worse, believe me. And that wasn't that bad.
Nice to get the phone calls and cards.
Nice to have a special piece of coconut layer cake with boiled icing from Billy Reeds tonight. Just like my mothers only more lavish with one layer of custard and another layer of pineapple preserve inside.
We don't do gifts any more. If somebody wants something they buy it.
Happy birthday to me.
