Today was pretty special for me. Turned 68 today. I stayed home from work and spent the day being a bum, watching TV and eating too much snacks. Tonight Carey made me BBQ ribs, baked beans, baked sweet potato, corn, chopped salad, and apple pie. I got to watch what I wanted most of the day!

I keep my birthdays private but I think it's ok to share with the GOF's. Funny, health wise I don't feel or look my age, or so I'm told. I really should retire but I really love my job. Anyway, made it one more year! :wacky:

Well, Mr. @Jeff Scott in about two years I truly will be a man of leisure! I will have worked at the city for 22 years-- their first and only PC Tech/Webmaster. Quite an accomplishment considering when I met Carey 33 years ago I still had the mind of a teenager LOL!

Happy birthday, Will! I'm really glad to hear you had such an enjoyable day. 68 is nothing to sneeze at and, if you love your job, why not stay with it? Sounds like you have an abundance of blessings.

Happy belated birthday, Will! "Get a job doing what you love and you'll never have to 'work' a day in your life." Sounds like you did it, bruh! Congratulations. :smug:

All the best for your birthday Will. You’ve done very well. The good thing about ribs is having leftovers to snack on.
