It looks like I beat you to 60 by 1 day.

I am sure you are following what is going on at UVA. Very sad in my opinion. Apparently, great leaders of college students are easy to replace.

With a bit of luck you have a good 20 years of vigorous health in front of you. From what I read 80 is kind of the knee of the curve in health and strength.

Take full advantage of those years. I have lived those years and now will be 90 in November. I am full into the "I can't do that anymore" years.

Happy birthday from California. I just turned 78. My brain says I’m 18. My body reminds me constantly that I am 78. Eh bien.

I’m just here to point out that I’m younger than you. You’re welcome. ;)

I just turned 77. Byran believe me it gets worse. You know all those memes about geezers? They're all true.

Good morning, Bryan. Wishing you well. I really enjoyed reading your posting this morning. Reminded me a lot about my growing up as well and also my father's Omega Seamaster which I still have. Such memories indeed.

Wishing you a Happy 60th and all the best with your family.
