Congratulations on both counts!
I'm not a young guy on the forum, but I'm not retired like so many of the others. Back in December I had a moment: I was watching the college kids coming into church and it hit me that (a) I was once in their place and (b) they were just shy of half my age. Not long after that, with my 50th birthday coming up, I realized that I was just half of my grandfather's age, who was then 99.
May you have many more years!

Happy birthday! As for myself, I turned 62 + 1 month May 1st, so Ford cut my pension in half. The 3rd Wednesday of the month, Starting this past June, I started collecting social security. Wound up getting enough extra per month for a tank of gas in the Probe, if it passed Echeck yet. And looking at the young is weird, since I now have children older than them.
