You move from senior to geezer just before you move from geezer to fart.

I wanna kvetch and sing and ....♫

...hmmm... most of what I want to do doesn't scan...need a different tune.

Little Hawk: "You're a decade older than me, Bill. You may refer to me as a "young whippersnapper" if you so desire."

Hawk,
He's over 3 decades older than I; the line forms to the left :-)


Happy Birthday, Bill!!

You know, Bill doesn't really get the credit he deserves. He, a true Mudcat Icon, right up there with Catspaw and Rick Fielding and Gargoyle...

Happy birthday, Bill!

Oh, geeze! ANOTHER one??

Not only did you have one just a year ago, Bill, but everyone else seems to be having them too. Hardly very original.


That said, whoop it up and enjoy it anyway!

Happy birthday, Bill! I've got a whole bunch of great "spiritual" books you should check out ASAP in order to get a fresh viewpoint on things and escape the dry and dusty halls of philosophical/mental complexity.

I suggest:

1. The Tao of Pooh
2. The Teh of Piglet
3. The Inner Tradition of Yoga
4. The Tao of Health, Sex, and Longevity (out of print now, I think)

None of them say a word about "God", hell, heaven, or anything else like that...but I think you'd find them good reading.

And to get a traditional North American Indian viewpoint, I suggest:

"Seven Arrows" by Hyemeyosts Storm. (also out of print, but you can find used copies on Amazon, I should think)

A categorical imperative! I Kant think why I missed that...wow... I am both relieved and empowered!

Senior is a descriptive attribute; geezer is a categorical imperative.

There must be some logical distinction between senior and geezer. Happy Birthday, Mr. Turner (of wood).

♫Tis sweet to be remembered...♫

As I posted to someone on Facebook...it just hit me that there's no senior citizen's discount on beer!

How soon do I move from just 'senior' to "geezer"? There's a point at which lots of stuff is overlooked or just forgiven because it's sorta 'charming'.

Happy Birthday, Bill.
I thought of you yesterday when the final touches for the new office arrived. Included is a huge bowl carved from a tree knot. It is stunning. There are several other wood pieces but that one said "Bill".
Enjoy!

Many happy returns to you Sir. I still remember your rendition of Mrs Ravoon a few years back at the Getaway.

Here's hoping that you have an absolutely super day.

Live long, die happy.
