A belated "Happy Birthday" to you!

I hope you're going to send me an AAR soon!

I'm approaching the completion of the second year of my seventh decade (end
of September is the magic date); I'm sort of taking the attitude that
you're only as old as you feel (or, if you want to be a bit risqué, 'only
as old as who you feel'), and despite my salt-and-pepper being far more
salt than pepper, if I keep my facial hair properly mowed, I seem to look
quite a bit younger than my actual age. I do, however, concede that I've
reached the stage where sitting down is easier than standing back up... :)
