the time has gone as I tiptoe into my 7th fookin decade on
our little ball.

Coming off day 8 of a nasty flu type bug and spent most of
my B'Day day in the rack, by myself. No Ferrari or anything
really spectacular for my birthday as theCEO has us on a budget.

Today, I did manage to chase it and carved a good 83.

-Kaefer: Yes, "time to retire"...oh, I did that 7 1/2 yrs ago!
-Verbalkint: pretty good parody; you have stolen most of my
good lines, .
-Haigha: My next goal is to be a solid 12...then, I want to be as good
as you before I quit.
-Rayxi: I staggered outta bed for a pasta with prosciutto & peas dindin
crafted by the CEO; washed it down with a finely chilled '96 white burgundy.
I could taste some of it...
-QwkAg: no beefing here, though V is ready to kill me after 7 days of
me being sick. I'm feeling very good and wanna look like you by the
time I catch up to you!
-Eric: Thanks for that cake: Titz, and no links or charts or politics!
-RastaGurl: You docs are all the same; I stayed away this time as
they have little "fix" for my situ; I'm saving all those wonder drugs
for when I really need them in that last ditch effort.
-Curtis: Thanks...you go in my place: after 18+ yrs of Graph Expos I
will take a pass; plus, I wouldn't recognize the "biz" now.
-DrFred: Thanks and I was afraid of that.
-mdk5623: Cousin Marko, I've been trying but V is avoiding me like
the plague, .

My sincere thanks to all the Gang, here. If this isn't a fookin Community,
I then don't know what one is...great people and proud to be a part
of The Board.

Live 'till the fookin money runs out...
