    Feeling The Effects Of All The Years Piling Up

    Little Miss Field Day turns 21 tomorrow.

    I haven't felt this ancient since the day I turned 50. (And never mind when that was)

    One more "milestone" like this, I'm going to have to get on 75 or 20 meters and start kvetching about my aches and pains. But at least I still have my gall bladder!

    Mine will be 31 in August and I DON'T have my gall bladder.

    I feel purty durn good. Things are going well here; I like WA, and I'm spending a lot more time doing radio.

    It's interesting to note I used to be FAR more concerned about my mortality when I was a lot younger. Now I don't even think about it.

    I'm not as old as some of the guys in radio... but I've come to this conclusion....

    The only answer to aging is the following:

    Stay young until you end. Hope to die before you get old... in the head.... where it matters....

    It didn't bother me when our boy (technically my stepson) turned 21. It bothered the Boss.

    But this one is different.

    You have to realize that my first wife decided she didn't want children. Before we were married, we'd talked about it, and she said she wanted to wait a few years until her career got going... after the fact, her attitude was "kids? I don't want kids! When did I ever say I'd want kids!?"

    So as life turned out, LMFD will be my only biological child. Not that our son means any less to me, but to some degree, she is special.

    And, he feels special too. His father also has remarried, and he has a brother & sister on that side of his family, but he is the only one with both of his parents. So don't think he gets left out. (Poor guy, both of his step parents, as it turns out, are Jewish, and both of his parents are Catholic. He really does get the guilt trip from all ends!)

    Well, LMFD did NOT go bar cruising after midnight.

    The friend who was organizing the whole shindig was unavailable. Home, sick, in bed with pneumonia.

    Perchance that's just as well...
