Fifty, as in fifty

I’ll be honest – There has always been a good part of me that has not expected to live to see 50 for whatever reason.
I’m glad I have, thanks to coffee, bourbon, cigars and scurrilous living.
Now I can start being the old coot I always dreamed of being.

As of today…

I’ve been around here for 49 years.
I have to say that the past few years have proved to be among the most surprising in all of my life.
As I noted last week, despite occasional gripes, I am one lucky duck. People talk about who they were in their past lives. Even if I believed in reincarnation, I really don’t have any curiosity about other existences, because this one is just too good.
I’ve gotten to do so many of the things, big and small that I hoped to. And I get to be in touch, through this medium, with so many thoughtful, questing minds. I wouldn’t want to be alive any other time.
If you can read this, know that I value knowing you. Have a great day.

A thoughtful, caring man.
A friend of deepest loyalty.
Mentor, gourmand, gleeful corrupter.
The world’s a better place with you in it.
Happy Birthday, Thornyc
