What Comes After Middle Age?

The Ancient Mariner hasn't mentioned that his birthday box showed up in Borneo so I'm thinking it probably won't reach him until the USS Blue Ridge hits the next port a few days from now.

This is a milestone birthday for the love of my life. He's eligible for Medicare. He's in good company, too: Steven Spielberg, Patty Duke, Hayley Mills, Dolly Parton, Linda Ronstadt, Liza Minnelli, John Woo, Oliver Stone, Sylvester Stallone, Talia Shire, Susan Sarandon, Donald Trump, Connie Chung, Cher, Tommy Lee Jones, and Laura Bush. (Did you know that Tommy Lee and Laura attended the same high school?)

Freddie Mercury was also born in 1946 but, alas, is no longer with us.

Happy birthday, Mike. Maybe next year I'll make you a cake.

  1. No boxes in Borneo, but I did see the bravo working party bring in mail sacks from an underway replenishment this morning, so hope spring eternal. Thank for kind wishes. I saw Tommy Lee Jones in a restaurant in San Antonio once. He looked to be older than I.

  2. Welcome to Medicare from those of us who preceded you by a year.

  3. Got the box! Wonderful presents. And due credit to Peevish for not opening at least one of the movie DVDs before sending it.
