You'd think I'd be getting the hang of it, but every round trip throws me something new.

Mentally, I have to remind myself I'm not twenty, but I still feel like a kid. Physically, not so much. Always liked this quote:

"A child-like man is not a man whose development has been arrested; on the contrary, he is a man who has given himself a chance of continuing to develop long after most adults have muffled themselves in the cocoon of middle-aged habit and convention." - Aldous Huxley

So here's a toast to you all, stay a little crazy, and hang on to your youth, not by buying that sports car or seeking a trophy wife, but by hanging on to that wonderment and desire to learn you gained as a child.

I'm going to use this for my 54th birthday theme song:

Hey, Best Wishes !
You too, Bob.

Stick around for a few more round trips, OK ?
I'm just a few laps ahead of you guys.
No plans to let you catch up just yet.

Happy Birthday!

I'm a few+ years ahead of you. Have you noticed the solar circumnavigations getting faster and faster yet?
