Sixty is much better than thirty, if only in the knowledge that I don't have to turn fifty again. And, of course, I no longer have to worry about dying young.
I'm certainly not where I thought I would be at this age. But then, they never developed personal jet packs, either.
Thanks for all the birthday wishes!
