I am officially a geezer. 65 today.
I really never thought I'd make it this far.
Happy Birthday to Me.

26. Miz t. sez "It's already been plenty memorable, thanks."
She (as well as I) survived my "fighter pilot" years.
Never in combat.
I was 'safely' ensconced in the air guard.
Me and George**.
:-(

But still... the strapping of that hog on my ass three or four times a week and hanging it as far over the edge as I could while still being able to pull it back.
Night, weather (thunderstorms) air-to-air refuelings.
Gunnery practice.

I believe there was also a fair amount of Scotch whiskey involved.
Possibly some Martinis in there too.
We called 'em, 'see-throughs'.
Fightin' whiskey.

It was, indeed, another life.
Somewhat fondly remembered, and (thankfully) survived.
:-)

13. You were born the year I completed USAF pilot training.
And thus began my career in aviation.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

15. HEY! FUCK OFF!
Or ON.
I don't care.

Thanks, bud.
I got a grill light with a built-in radio.
Never seen the like and I can't wait to use it.
I guess.
What'll they think of next?

43. Yes. 65 is the official age:
You have to start wearing plaid Bermudas with Aloha shirts.
Suspenders AND belt on the shorts.
You should purchase all the gear at Wal-Mart.

Black nylon socks (rolled down below your ankles) and plastic gummy-bear sandals.
A baseball cap with your former military branch's emblem on it.
If you weren't in the military, your former company.
Or a beer brewer, heavy equipment maker, pick-up truck manufacturer, etc.

You get the drift.
:-)

40. Tell him to start NOW...
on trying to figure out the 'best' Medicare/Medigap options.
Oh...and which drug 'benefit' to choose.
It'll make your head swim and give you the jimmy-jams.
