The Professor Passes Another Milestone, Or, Quite Possibly, A Millstone

8 December 2019

Yesterday, 7 December, was my birthday. I turned 65. I am now, demographically, elderly.

Pooh.

We spent the day quietly -- slept a little late, went for a drive down to Nantasket, it being such a nice day. Had an early dinner at Fox & Hounds, then went home to listen to NPR. (Ask Me Another, the second half of Prairie Home ( Read more... )

Happy birthday, Sir.
I didn't realize you were younger than me (though, everyone usually is)

I didn't realize that you were older than me1

Still, age is just a concept.

Happy, happy birthday dear Professor. Are you now officially retired as well?

liddle_oldman January 23 2020, 02:14:10 UTC

No, I'm job-hunting. I can't imagine ever being financially able to retire, anyway.

That makes 2 of us but it must be even harder at 65...sorry 😔

Belated happy birthday. :)

I have decided to view the calendar with deep suspicion, and to carry on on my current course.

Yes, that seems like the best idea.

I hope you've signed up for Medicare as they like to penalize you for not doing that in time .

You've always had a young mind to me Professor, don't sweat the calendar .

My best to your wife .

Yeah, I did, thanks. Infact, I just got my Medicare card...

I have seven months to decide what to do, I wish my kaiser would be sufficient but it's not apparently .

I'm going to try and start a family discussion with my five siblings to see what they all have done .

Happy birthday!

Know what you mean as I'm in my 50s and feel about 15.

liddle_oldman January 23 2020, 02:16:46 UTC

Yeah, pieces of me (like my sense of humor) are still around 12. :)

Happy WAY belated birthday! I went to a basketball game the other night and they announced that a woman there was celebrating her 100th birthday so all 20,000 of us sang to her. By the way she was laughing and waving and dancing and looked like she'd be up for going out for a beer after the game. So be 40!!

(also I was sitting next to my mother who is 91 and still going strong)
