    Welcome to the over 64 years old crowd! You probably can appreciate the sort of Beatles version "When I am 64 tune" with even more understanding. Congratulations.

    Thanks for all the warm wishes, guys, and the humor. there's nothing like a forum roast!!! and Goldminer, that has always been a favorite song of mine. I read somewhere that Paul McCartney wrote it when he was 16 years old and that about how young I was when I first heard it.

    may we all enjoy many more years as the sort of dysfunctional family that we seem to be. who would have thought that at the age of nine when I started that the Hobby would take me to this. B)

    Happy Birthday Al!

    To a funky off beat rhythm and rhyme

    You're a Gem,
    but not untouched
    we know ...
    we've seen the signs of you circulate

    So just like the women I know
    who are perpetually 29
    we'll make you
    forever 58

    Happy Birthday @keets!

    Apologies to Zoins, but I love this medal.

    No apologies necessary! I love this medal too. It's beautiful in hand and it's legacy is that it was once yours! Much thanks for offering it to me. Feel free to show it off any time :)

    I love your collection and your eye. This is a beautiful medal and I hope it finds its way to you!

    I remember when Bowser was trying to get away from being Bowser. It was when he was splitting MC duty with Gene Rayburn on Match game/Hollywood squares. I'm glad he accepted his fate and went back to being Bowser.

    Will you still need me, will you still feed me when I'm 65? Anyways I for one am glad your still around and above ground. B)
