Yes. I'm 60 today. Thank you for the many wishes. Gifts to date include a new set of Cleveland irons from my sweet wife, and alcohol from the neighbors. Interesting what people find useful for me at this stage of my life.
Yes. July 5 is my special day. Now, for you numerologists getting all sweaty-palmed about the upcoming 7/7/07 lucky day approaching, I must remind you that it was on 7/7/70 that I was drafted into the U.S. Army, during the height of the Vietnam War.
Believers would say 7/7/70 was a lucky for me because I served my time unscathed. That is true, because as you know, Lt. George Bush and Sgt. Stan Rolfsrud both spent their tours of duty in a vigorous defense of Texas. In my case, there exists actual paperwork documenting my service, signed by Richard Milhous Nixon.
I didn't have George's connections, so perhaps it was, indeed, my lucky induction date that saw me through without a scratch.
