Today I am 60 years old. If I had known I was gonna live this long I would have taken better care of myself. Now I have to live at least 15 more years so I can enjoy all the 2005 Bordeaux I have ordered. I'd hate to have to drink them before they were ready.

Happiest of Days GOC
Posted by: hoosierboy on October 25, 2006 07:48 AMDenny.....
Happy Birthday, I`ll drink to that. Not much of a wine person as most wine I consumed in my youth was aged on the delivery truck. The exception was in Switzerland where I found they dearly love wine. I`ll toast with a cold Asahi to your good fortune & long life.
Best regards.....Dudley1
Posted by: dudley1 on October 25, 2006 08:00 AMHappy Birthday Denny! I had mine back in July. We are the eldest of the great baby boom. May we rock on for a few more years

Posted by: gene Hall on October 25, 2006 10:51 AMDelurking just to say, "Happy Bday and many more happy returns!"
Love your blog btw...
-Cammy
Born in 1946.
The first wave of the baby boomers.(damn, the war ended in 45 and you were born LESS than a year later.)
Are you having all of those "regrets" like 1/2 ass Clinton did a couple of months ago when he hit 60?
Have a great day today. Do what ever you want regardless of others.
And................Happy 60th.
You mentioned 15 years. Nah, at least 20 - 25. My parents are still kicking at 83 and 84. Drugs do wonders these days.
My son just turned 21 and I gave him a skydive trip. You obviously go diving, did you ever jump? Old man Bush jumped on his 60th.
Many happy returns... I will be joining you in that particular decade in about 4 months. :)
Posted by: Jackie on October 25, 2006 12:16 PMDamn! 60??? I'd never have known it if you hadn't said so!
Feliz Cumpleanos, Denny!

I joined last month and was in Vietnam at the same time so I figure you have decades yet to entertain your readers
Happy Birthday! I hope you have something else to drink if you are waiting 15 years to drink the Bordeaux.

Posted by: Dana on October 25, 2006 10:21 PMAddison (TOO) - I was sent home with three pieces of cake as it was.
Mrs. Addison (TOO) - Tell your maid of honor if I wasn't old enough to be her father and didn't live so far away I'd be all over her. She is a babe!
Shoe - Howza 'bout sending me some pictures of that "near perfect boobage". See you in April if not sooner.
Sissy - I always have something to drink. Tonight I drank an Alexander Valley Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon. In a few minutes, I'll have a glass of Delamain Vesper in front of the fire.
Bou - Just seeing you and Mo and hearing you say Happy Birthday would be good enough for me. I love you two to pieces.
To all the rest of my readers and friends...Thanks! Thanks for reading my stuff and thanks for being my friends!

Posted by: matthew g on October 29, 2006 05:46 PMI tell you what. Just set me down as your beneficiary for it and I'll mix it with equal parts of Guitars, caterwaulin' (er uh singin'), two other recovering BigBluers I call friends, and as many Denny toasts as we can fit in before we face plant into the carpet.
Happy 60ish.
