    Thanks to everyone,

    Marty, I got my AARP card a year ago!

    And Steppenwolf, so sorry I forgot to mention you! And also Kym, he's an AUSSIE that purchased several of my SOFA's a while back for his gang!

    Prom, sorry I ruined your surprise, benefits of being on the East Coast 3 hours ahead of you! And sorry my CRS got to me in aging you faster than you deserved!
    Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day,
    You fritter and waste the hours in an off-hand way,
    Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town,
    Waiting for someone or something to show you the way.
    Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain,
    You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today,

    And then the one day you find, ten years have got behind you,
    No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun!
    And you run and you run to catch up with the sun,but it's sinking,
    And racing around to come up behind you again,
    The sun is the same in the relative way, but you're older
    And shorter of breath and one day closer to death!

    Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time,
    Plans that either come to naught or a half page of scribbled lines,
    Hanging on in quiet desparation in the English way,
    The time is gone the song is over,
    Thought I'd something more to say!
    MRO, I do have an 80 y/o to ask, my mom! But she's still pretty spry, she rode with me a couple of years ago in NY on the bike!!

    We went and had some photos/portraits made today to help preserve the moment. I don't get to see her much since she lives down in "Bama, and I know she won't be around forever either!

    Dean, as far as I know I'm planning on being there, hopefully with a new paint job for Godzilla, but will have to see how busy things get, and how skillful I become between now and then! Have to learn how to use my spray gun, and an AIRBRUSH!

      50 was soooo long ago...... of course I never feel older than 15..
      You can't stay young forever, but you can be immature for the rest of your life...

        Just think TC, now YOU get to have an AARP membership! 11 mos and some days for me.
