Post Re: 79 trips around the sun - Happy Birthday, Emmett
It's well past midnight. Birthday's over. I'm back from family dinner and celebration with wife, daughters, brother and son-in-law. Ready to turn in. One more time online, as usual, checking in with stickist.com of course, and surprise, there you all are, celebrating my birthday.

In my family we'd recite the blessing, "Many happy returns of the day of thy birth." It didn't register, in one ear and out the other, kind of like karma (grand bookkeeping in the sky). I realize though, your words here are the real returns, and evidence of much more to come. Many thanks for your thoughtful sentiments, which will stay with me as the 80th trip begins.

That's a lotta mileage. I think I need my tires rotated.
