    Many happy returns to a man who brightens my days daily.

    Now how did a bespoke low-life and well-known roue like you get to be so damn old?

      Todd, my urologist is retiring so today I meet my new urologist. You can imagine what I’m in for at that appointment!

        Congratulations, young man!

        Does your urologist still do it the old fashioned way, using his (her?) fingers?
        Mine switched last year or so to a computer controlled kind of “joystick” that he puts in – the stick does ultrasound I believe and thus generates a picture on a screen.

        George, your remark ” No smoking, no hard liquor, no illegal drugs.” reminds me of one of my favourite jokes:

        A guy asks his doc: What can I do to live a long time?
        The do says: Well, stay off smoking, drinking, no drugs of course, keep away from women (and men …) and generally don’t do anything that gives you stress …

        So the guy asks: Will I then have a guaranteed long life?

        No, says the doc, but the years and hours will feel very long for you …

        Enjoy your birthday! Hope you get some nice presents too!

        Wolf, I loved your joke! Thanks for the generous Birthday wishes. And, yes, this new urologist probed me the Old Fashioned way.

      Patti, you know me well! Yes, Diane is taking me out to lunch at a new pizza place called MY TOMATO PIE. The menu selections look yummy!

        George, but a real Italian pizza should be accompanied by a nice glass of Italian red wine – or two …

        Or maybe they have Niagara wine?
        I remember being really astonished when I saw those signs about vineyards near Niagara ….
        And the wines weren’t bad, just a bit on the expensive side.

        Wolf, the Niagara Wine Region has over a dozen vineyards. Some are pricey, but many wines are inexpensive. You just have to know where to buy them.

    Patti beat me to the pizza line. (We had pizza yesterday.)

    Happy Birthday, young man. I can remember back when I was 67…wait a minute, I’m still 67 for another few months!

    Anyway, I’m sure it will be a great one.

      Jeff, we’re about ready to leave for the new pizzeria. The new urologist complemented me on my PSA score of 1.1. I told him I owe it all to eating pizza on a regular basis!

    Happy Birthday! Glad you’ll have pizza. Hope there’s also some chocolate in store for you.

    I’m guessing after Beth turns old enough to get Soc Sec, she’ll be like the rest of us and want to be in a holding pattern

      Maggie, Diane sometimes takes me out for a Dairy Queen treat on my Birthday. I usually order a chocolate Blizzard with nuts.

    HAPPY ANNIVERSARY OF YOUR BIRTH! I hope you have a terrific day. So, pizza and cake? Good thing it’s carb-free. Do you have any birthday traditions?

    New doctor usually means a bunch of new labs, sine they never seem to want to look at the “old” chart. Hope you like the new one. I really dislike my GP, but you don’t get a choice.

      Rick, the new urologist was pleased with my PSA score of 1.1. My new internist mentioned more blood work. I just had an A1C but I don’t have the results yet. My last A1C was 6.5. The only Birthday traditions Diane and I have involve pizza and chocolate.

      Rick, the pizza was yummy. My sister offered to bake a Birthday cake but I told her to hold off until Katie visits us in a couple of weeks. Saw HIGH-RISE (review next Tuesday). Most of my Birthday presents were gift cards and bottles of wine from friends.

      Lauren, thanks! One of the swimmers at the Tonawanda Aquatic and Fitness Center gave me a Paula’s doughnut as a Birthday present!
