Hope you don’t mind if I send you the same card. 
I’m still exactly 10 months older than you. 44 ain’t so bad.
Yes, indeed. Happy Birthday, Bruce. Now you’re 100 years shy of a gross, too.
Cheers!
Thanks guys. I must be getting old because I was born at a very early age. But even though I’m getting up there, I can still hang…
- hang over the belt (furniture disease getting worse every year)
- hang up the softball glove
- hang on to my walker
- hang out at the McDonald’s morning coffee club
- hang by the hair growing out of my ears
- hang…?
Overall, life’s a blast. We’re living large and enjoying each year more and more . Mary and I are closer than ever and I thank God for every day. But the best is that we are really enjoying watching Ben and Brad grow up. You know the old saying, “We used to have hobbies, now we have kids.”
My family gave me the DVD movie, “Rudy,” as a birthday gift. Great movie, one of my favorites. But I get the best birthday present tonight; I get to go watch Ben wrestle at a meet. So far, he is the top freshman wrestler in his weight class in the conference. What more can a father ask?
Love of God, life and family…its the best!
Thanks for the warm wishes.

Happy Birthday Bruce. Keep up the good work. Also, it really was a jump mount onto the Coker. I don’t care what anyone else says.

My mother is a published poet so my father wrote her a poem for her 65th birthday last week:
OH DEAR
Old age is here
Oh dear
Bad image in mirror
Oh dear
Eye sheds a tear
Oh dear
Can’t hear
Oh dear
Widening in the rear
Oh dear
Floor’s not as near
Oh dear
Wobbling I fear
Oh dear
Young people sneer
Oh dear
Pain is a spear
Oh dear
Old age is here
Oh dear

Thanks, Greg. It was actually onto my 24" Sem (http://gallery.unicyclist.com/bengiraffe?page=2). But it just goes to show that big white men can too jump. 
Great “hang” time if I do say so myself.

Raphael,
Depending on who you talk to, I made it all the way to gross a long time ago.
