Had a rough time to get out of bed today. Thanks Jim. It's appreciated. Very much. Age, the backstabbing bastard, hit me bad this time. Wrinkles everywhere I look.

I found ageing a humbling experience. I look in the mirror sometimes I do not see if I fell low then I do urghh!!!!!!!!!. Any way enough about my favorite subject me!!!!!!!!. Happy birthday Klaus for some reason i thought you were about twenty six?

[Klaus]

thats what I am still trying to convince myself. But for some reason it doesn't work. In a few years I'll turn 30. And then I will not be able to trust myself anymore. AAAARRRGH!

Boyo, it's when you feel older than your ID says you are that you have to worry!

Hertzlichen Grüßen zum Geburtstag, mein Freund!

Don't feel so bad. Today is my brother's 50th birthday and I am right behind him.

50 huh? That seems far away from my point of view. But on the other hand: there was a time when 30 looked far away too.

I remember also when 30 seemed old. Now, at 48, I'm not seeing 60 as being all that old.

Yes, father Time is a ruthless bastard! Not only my good looks go down the drain. My hair seems to think it is a good idea to follow them.

If your health stays good then don't worry too much about your hair. I have a full head of dark hair but I also had two stays in the hospital this year, one for a life-threatening condition and one for elective surgery. My New Year's wish is for a healthier year than the last one.
