A friend of mine sent this to me in an email recently so I thought it would be cool to share here.
The picture you see is of a perfectly aged wine – probably at least 60 years old….jus’ sayin’!
Some of these pertain to me now and those that don’t will in the future, I’m sure!
How many on this list pertain to you? You might not be 60 yet but I’ll bet you can put your finger on one or two of these and say, “Hey, that’s me!”
1) Kidnappers are not very interested in you.
Well, it finally happened. Last month I turned the ripe OLD age of 60 so I just wanted to share a few thoughts on how I feel about that.
I guess one of the main thoughts I have is that I don’t feel like I thought I’d feel when I turned 60. There are people all around me that are younger but act and look a whole lot older than me.
Yeah, I know I could stand to lose some poundage but, for the most part, I feel pretty dadgum good!
Last night a friend of mine and I decided to go see the much-acclaimed new movie, “The Hobbit”. Having seen “The Lord of the Rings” trilogy, I thought that it would probably be pretty good and adventure-packed. I knew going in that the movie was close to 3 hours in length. That fact really didn’t bother me that much because I have seen movies that length before that were pretty good.
As I was driving on the Interstate near Columbia this afternoon, I decided to pull out the ole Flip Video Cam and film myself (basically talk to myself) telling just what I do for a living. Not too bad a video for driving almost 80 mph…
We had a wonderful time with our family this past weekend. It was typical HOT July southern weather but we made the most of it.
My wife and I love all of our children and stay in touch with them on a regular basis. As a matter of fact, we had dinner with 2 of our sons and their women just last night and we skyped with our oldest son and his wife this evening. We always have a good time when we’re together. Family is one of the most important things in my life. We’ve been married almost 32 years and our 3 sons are grown and productive members of society. We’re very proud of them and their families.
My wife(Karen) and I had a fantastic 4th of July weekend! It all began Friday evening when we met our good friends, Mike and Sue at their house and went to the thriving metropolis of Moncks Corner, SC for their annual “Dance on the Square”. After a very humid week with soaring temperatures, the evening was absolutely perfect temp-wise.
We got there in plenty of time to set up our chairs in good position around the “dance floor” – basically a cordoned-off area on the pavement. After setting up we made our way over to the vendors for some vittles. Karen decided on a whoppin’ hot dog and I chose a nice braut with bun and mustard. Of course, there was a Boiled Peanuts vendor there so I had to partake of some fine southern caviar.
