A d come midnight I'll be that old. As a kid my parents had three life insurance policies on me. They were sure I wouldn't make it to 16. I didn't think I'd make it to 45. Now here I am burying friends before me. Last year i changed my Birthday date. People change their names, why can't I change the date. I picked June 22, 1955. I don't mind being old, I just hate a birthday in the middle of winter right after Xmas. People are broke and no one has bucks for gifts. "Here Huck, it's a shirt I got at Value Village." Yep story of my life, I get no respect.
June 22 is the day after summer solstice. It is the second longest daylight day there is. It's warm, and there is a good reason to drink beer. This year, plnn9ng a big picnic at one of the parks. heck, might even spring for a roasted Pig. Sure can't do that in Winter. Bah humbug.

Happy Birthday, old timer! I got 3-1/2 years on you. Long may your freak flag fly!
I've never been bothered that my birthday was right after Christmas, you get to combine the 2 and get bigger stuff :)
June 22 is a good day, my oldest's birthday, and I'm sure she's more than happy to share it with you :)
Can we come? I love a pig roast! :)
Happy Birthday, our friend, huck! There are some tremendous sales in the stores right now. I should think your presents would have the benefit of more bang for the buck!
Happy birthday, Huck.....many, many more...change your birthday again...I won't be able to be in WI in June...I have to be a 'Mom' to a niece having her first child.... July would be better. Tee-hee...oh, have a grand one.
Happy Birthday...whenever you choose to celebrate...and never let 'em tell you the odds!
Happy Birthday Huck. As I sat planning my daughters birthday I wondered who's idea it was to have her so close to Christmas.. I have no energy left and the last thing I want to do is bake more.. I felt bad that I didn't have the same drive as I did for my first childs birthday.. I see now that it's going to be hard with a birthday after Christmas.
Amazing how some people can live way beyond what they are "supposed" to. Happy Birthday again and a very many more in your future..
