Posted: Thu May 03, 2018 10:30 amHere's hoping you'll make it in dancing condition... seems I probably will not... and I'm not really in dancing condition now; more often than not, my current dancing form is to keep my occasional staggering self from falling. Health matters aside, I don't grasp my actual age, either. When my cousin who shares your birth date was born (1966), you and I were 16 (plus some months for me); yesterday was that long ago?Hawkeye07 wrote:I sure don't feel like I'll be 68 tomorrow. Only 32 more to go to the "Century Mark"!!

Posted: Fri May 04, 2018 9:30 amI inherited early grey hair from my dad when I was 17 but the pattern was from my maternal grandfather, the sideburns down to the chest, which very slowly began to invade towards the scalp; after discharged from the USAF, I let my hair grow to shoulder-length Anglo-Saxon (somewhat similar to Tony Danza in Taxi or Robert Wagner as Prince Valiant) and combed the dark hair from the back over the grey. Except with some accusing me of wearing a wig, I was guessed to be in my 20s while I was in my 40s and 50s. I'd been a soprano in a boys' chorus (had to mandatorily drop out at 12 when voices normally change) and continued to sing in that range until my singing voice finally changed just before I turned 27. Until 2009, considering the age guessing and the voice change, I used to say I was aging one year to the normal two.Fozzer wrote:When I visited my Doctor... he... said... "According to my records, you're 84 years old... I would put you down to being in your early; "60's"...!
I told him I put it down to recent, 40+ years of total sexual abstinence (strange females, etc), daily motorcycling, laughing a lot, and cooking and eating amazing meals every day!
But most do avoid strange vegetables and...Fozzer wrote:Eat lots of vegetables and avoid strange women!
that's the way of the world... the duh-masses are doing it backwards and inside out... 
My memories go back to my infancy -- a cottage overlooking the bay in Belfast, Maine, before moving back to our home town. My alma mater, Steven's High School, boasts the oldest continual annual alumni celebration in the nation, themed float parade and all, even though it's not really in that large a town (population has actually dropped @1k to @13k since my graduation). My 50th is this June and I'm expecting to keep myself and my car well enough to at least attend.Hawkeye07 wrote:I still have vivid memories of school chums and shipmates, girlfriends through the years and pals at Northwest and many of the good and bad times and I think to myself "Dang, did that really happen that long ago? Doesn't seem possible." 50th class reunion is coming up in September...Really?????
As said in some of my recent posts, our [physical] existence is only temporary and this planet, eventually this universe, will end to nothing; and, to add, from nothing will spew out something new...Hawkeye07 wrote:You sometimes hear folks say "Well the best you can hope for is..." I honestly don't know what is the best you can hope for. A long, happy life I guess. I have a younger brother and a son who would liked to have had that but it wasn't meant to be for them. So I guess we just live each day as best we can and never count on tomorrow. Hopefully H we'll both see many more sunrises.
