all the birthday wishes. There is however one small catch. I have been on birthday control pills for the past several years and am no longer able to have birthdays.(a previously undetected side effect of the pills) At first glance, this might appear to be a good thing, but in reality, it is a bit of a nuisance. Since I now appear to be younger than people half my age, I am constantly asked for my I.D. when I go to bars or try to get into an "R" rated movie. 30 year old women treat me like an annoyingly cute little brother. Most folks think my wife is actually my mom. (Gawd I'm a dead man if she ever reads this.) But don't pity me. Being chronologically challenged, is my burden to bare. I will handle it with a mature grace and dignity, that would belie my youthful appearance. Each morning as I scrutinize my reflection, hoping, nay *praying* for some tell tale sign of wrinkles, hair loss, or at least a budding double chin, I will stoically mask my disappointment that there is not even a hint of age related cell degeneration, and bravely carry on. There is unfortunately no known cure for this malady. But I do hold out hope. With the recent heart wrenching admission by world famous "Bandstand" host Dick Clark, that he too suffers from this affliction, research funds and support have been pouring in. If all the Babblers could hold me in their thoughts and prayers so that one day I too may experience the joy of a disinegrating mind and body, I would be forever grateful. Till then I will suffer silently.
Once again many thanks to all for the birthday greetings. It did make it a very special day for me. And a special thanks to KK ( you little dickens) for starting this thread, even though her motives are a tad suspect ';) (I know what you're up to)kid
ps..Sorry...after all the anticipation and waiting I hope no one was too disappointed it was only about my birthday.....although I did get a real nifty tool belt and some awesome basketball cards.
