Hope you're either free & clear of all that snow, or out snowmobiling about. Have a terrific day, Boss!

    Hey! That's my job!

    Ken is what, 30 again?

    And HB Mr. Lincoln.

    Yup, same as Abraham Lincoln and Charles Darwin, albeit not quite as old. (In fact Abe and Charlie were both born on this day in 1809.)

    Isn't that something.

    Happy Birthday.

    Braggart! Punk! 53 was a good year for me IIRC.

    Ken is 47 now, which means he's in his prime.

    Ken,
    Hope you had a Happy Birthday yesterday. Oh to be only 47 ;)

    47 is indeed prime. Hopefully he doesn't (Fibonacci) spiral out of control in a midlife crisis, if you know what I (Golden) mean.

    One's late forties and fifties can be a person's most productive years. At that age you can take advantage of past experience applied to creativity, rather than just inventing everything from scratch by trial and error. As I approach my 70's, though, I find that I'm beginning to forget the lessons learned from experience. But forgetfulness isn't all bad: it rekindles the thrill of new discoveries! :)

    Onward and upward, Ken! The best is yet to come!

    Amen, Brother PhiPi! A pity that corporate America thinks otherwise.

    NAH Phil. It's just another senior moment but they do come more often now ;)
    I have just hit the downside of the 60's.

    Let those senior moments come, fast & furious! Old age & treachery will overcome youth & skill every time. :)

    Thanks everybody! I worked and played right through my birthday this year, treating it like any other day.

    We had a pork roast in the slow cooker but power went out for the afternoon and evening. We moved it to the gas range to finish it off and ate in the dark.

    Old (?) man eating undercooked pork in the dark... and we liked it!
