Bob
congratulations. I am 9months ahead of you. By statistics much likely the last decade in men's life, isn't it.

We should do like Jackfit does.

Seniors discounts all 'round ... you're 5 years, 1 month and 9 days younger than me ... don't you believe in that last decade stuff, we Corvette drivers are young at heart!

Oh, let's hope not!

Several of us here are already past the 70 mark by a few years, several of us will reach in this year . . . (myself included, hopefully . . )

Congrats Bob!! Hope you have many more!!

Bob - you're only as old as you FEEL! (Today I'm 95!)

Seriously it's only a number - I've known people who are old at 45 and I'm still a kid approaching 63. And the nice thing about being this age is nobody can tell you that you can't have ice cream for breakfast!
