Here it is 2:00 in the afternoon – your time – and I’m just getting around to your blog. Happy birthday, old man, you may catch up to me in a few years. Wait, that’s not how it works, is it? As you say, every year, heck, every day is a gift. May you have many, many happy, healthy returns!
Nice picture. I’d skip the cake… the other dish is more appetizing.
“Private Nutzung” indeed, you old rogue! And celebrating with a new body part, too – that’s mighty extravagant. I don’t know whom I share a birthday with, but I do know that I was born the day Lord Haw-Haw was hanged.
Happy Birthday, George.
Today my grandson referred to me as an old lady. When I complained (as Phil was laughing in the next seat) Kevin said. “If you weren’t old, you would go with Pop pop.” And he’s right. Just two old codgers.

Congrats!
Thanks, Jerry! 62 feels pretty comfortable so far.
Happy birthday, George!
Diane is taking me to a movie and out to dinner, Bill. Life is Good.
Happy Birthday!
Nice of Diane to dress up for you.
😉
Diane baked the cake, Jeff. One of Stilwell’s “friends” delivered it.
Happy Birthday, George! Have a wonderful day.
It’s my twin daughters’ birthday tomorrow–13 years old–and I’m preparing the house for the party/sleepover tomorrow night. Yikes!
Ah, the Teenage Years, Deb. My best Birthday wishes to your twins. And, good luck with that party!
Happy birthday, George. Hope it’s a great one.
Thanks, James. Every Birthday at this stage of Life is a gift.
Young enough to care, old enough to know…happy indeed.
I’d estimate I’m in the 90+ percentile on the Happiness Scale, Todd.
Happy b-day, George. Born the same year as Bruce Springsteen! I guess that makes you The Boss of the bloggers.
The Boss of Bloggers…that has a nice ring to it, Drongo! Of course, I was born to run, too. Thanks for your good wishes!
Happy Birthday, George! This is a red-letter birthdate. You share it with Johnny Depp and Les Paul! Eat a piece of cake for me!
I knew that Johnny Depp and I shared the same Birth Date, but I didn’t know about Les Paul, Beth. I’m staring at a piece of chocolate cake right now.
The only famous person I know who shares my birthday (same year) is writer Spider Robinson.
George, you also share a birthday with Joe Haldeman, Michael J. Fox, Aaron Sorkin and Patsy Cornwell.
And Natalie Portman, Jeff.
Happy B-day you youngster . . .
Thanks, Stan. I don’t feel old.

Thanks for the kind Birthday wishes, Rick. I like the cake and the cake holder.
“Private Nutzung” indeed, you old rogue! And celebrating with a new body part, too – that’s mighty extravagant. I don’t know whom I share a birthday with, but I do know that I was born the day Lord Haw-Haw was hanged.
Art, you share a birthday with Eli Manning, Mel Gibson, Bobby Hull, and J. R. R. Tolkein.
John Paul Jones of Led Zeppelin, Art. Steven Stills was born the same day a year earlier and Victoria Principal the same day four years later.
Happy Birthday, George.

I didn’t know I shared a Birthday with Keith Laumer and Lin Carter, Todd. They are two writers I’ve read just about everything they ever wrote.
Happy Birthday, George, you old scudder. I mean, young whippersnapper. I think I share a b’day with Roy Rogers, and maybe Chairman Mao.
Thanks, Bob! I hope to keep my “Young Whippersnapper” status for another couple years.
No, Mao was born December 26, but you do share the birthday of Art Garfunkel and Peter Noone.
I’ll bet Roy is wrong, too, Jeff. It was something I picked up in a humor magazine so its bona fides are suspicious.
