a whole lot of life experiences

Mar 17, 2024

I am officially older than dirt today. A senior citizen even!

I’ve learned from decades of challenges and successes, but I’ve not accumulated an abundance of wisdom compared to my years. I can say that I have gained valuable insights and perspectives on life, and my decision-making has improved. 😉

The surprise and those who deceived me.

Katie and me on my birthday weekend

Katie surprised me with a trip home for my special day. Perry knew about it for over a week and didn’t tell me. To say he’s in the doghouse would be an understatement.

We celebrated at Taku Japanese Steakhouse. It was great, as always, EXCEPT Perry ordered swordfish and stunk up the place. Just another mark in the “bad Perry” column.

They say aging is a highly individualized process and each person’s experience will be unique. I can agree with that. For example, so many of my friends — many younger than me — have retired or are retiring… while others aren’t beginning to even think about it.

I’m just grateful to have reached such a ripe old age still feeling great. ❤️

Now you know: Elmer McCurdy (an outlaw) was killed in Oklahoma in 1911. His body was discovered in 1976 by a film crew member in an amusement park, where it was thought to be a wax mannequin.
