I've always been aware of my birthdays and more so after hitting what people used to say was the end of your working life ( 65 ) . BUT after that year when the common assumption was " you're out to pasture" I stopped publicly acknowledging my birthdays and made them a private affair. My belief is to continue providing value to growing myself , community and to those I support through my business!

To you Mark, and early Happy Birthday Wish and an acknowledgement we do share a desire to be a CONTRIBUTOR to ourselves and community.

JJ ... thanks. I agree mostly with what you've said here and what you've told me over the years. I think we are well past 40 years as friends, and 'we haven't changed a bit'! Seriously, we are paging our way through a long and very good book. We have our ups and downs (a.k.a. touch-n-goes) - and we never ever give up, give in or give out. We need our tires pumped now and again, but otherwise we keep it on the road. I owe you a note about getting together next week. I'll do that by the end of the week - I've got a tricky calendar next week.
