Happy Birthday everyone and happy birthday LEGO! 51 years and counting!

Thanks! :D

I am the big 30 today!

Coupla months, I get the big 64. That is a totally useless number. Of course, every morning I wake up I break a family record. 65, at least I get Medicare. Can't get retirement, cause I'm self employed. Grump.

Not totally useless:

When I get older losing my hair,

Many years from now.

Will you still be sending me a Valentine.

Birthday greetings bottle of wine.

If I'd been out till quarter to three.

Would you lock the door.

Will you still need me, will you still feed me,

When i'm sixty-four...

happy birthday, everybody!!! the fab4, cool
