Snooze Button Dreams: It's official

August 03, 2005

It's official

I'm old. As evidence I present this conversational snippet from Monday:

Bear: Do you know what tomorrow is?
Me: What's tomorrow?

Bear: Tuesday!

Me: Yeah, the chances are high that tomorrow will be a Tuesday.

Bear: Do you know what else is tomorrow?

Me: The day before Wednesday?

Bear: Your birthday!

Me: It is? Are you sure?

Bear: Yeah!!

Me: How about that... Hey, how old will I be?

Bear: Real old. Sixty-three.

Me: Sixty...three...??

Bear: I meant thirty-six! It just looks almost the same as sixty-three!

So there you have it out of the mouths of babes. Or at least out of the mouth of a cheeky six year-old. I'm just hoping that "it" was the numerals and not my aging carcass.

Hmmm...I'd better be careful around the homestead. I can now be legally exchanged for two eighteen year-olds...

Happy Birthday Jim!

Don't worry Jim she won't trade you in, old age and treachery win out over youth and enthusiasm every time.

Especially with the creation of "the little blue pill".

Happy Birthday, Jim.

Geez, all these late July/early August birthdays. Sounds like your parents had a fun Thanksgiving... ;-)

How mean! I give everyone plenty of notice before my birthday for gift getting...
Now, all you get is my sincerest HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

Happy belated birthday.

No matter how old I get, you'll always be 5 years older. I like that in a person.

My very best belated happy birthday wishes! When you coming to NY so we can drink to your birthday?

Posted by: RP at August 3, 2005 03:45 PM

Never,NY is just not on the list anymore unless its Niagara Falls.LOL

I'm late in saying it publicly, but on the day? I was early.

Happy birthday, babes :)

Happy Birthday, old man!

Posted by: Pam at August 3, 2005 05:38 PM

Happy birthday, Jim.

But come on, what would LW want with 2 18year olds? She already has you trained and with two it'd be like puppies, the hedaches are exponential, not additive.

Nah, don't worry something like that until you're at least 50.
:-D

Did you get Bubbleman for your birthday?

Happy B-Day Jim!

Posted by: Morrigan at August 4, 2005 10:39 PM

Thanks, y'all!

Mo - No Bubbleman for me but I did get a selection of very tasty beers. I can make my own bubbles with that. ;-)

Happy Belated Birthday! :)

Happy belated birthday! I know it ain't easy being 63. Now I understand why you don't post frequently. Too many bathroom visits and you can't find your glasses.
