Well, folks, today is my birthday. My 70th trip around the Sun. As is my wont, I must say that the best presents I have are the people that have made me what I am today: my wife & constant companion for 52 years; my son who has turned into a wonderful man and husband and father himself; and my grandchildren who have provided me with a new dimension of love which I have never known. I am certain that there are many others that contributed to what I am today, but, I would not know where to begin - so, thank you to all of them. I am blessed.

We all hear of folks that gripe of growing older. But I have been close to the other side twice and like this side better and relish my age. Thank you for allowing me to share.

Yes, Happy Birthday! And I see the popular PGH Steelers' hypocycloid by your name, too! That's special. There are Terrible Towels all over the world, and how many towns besides Boston can answer Yes to "Got six?"
Okay, back to 70 years old: many congrats to you and your family for putting up with you!!! There's only one cure for birthdays and it sounds like you missed the boat a couple times...good to still have you with us on this side of the grass. Are there any 4-legged members of your family? God willing I'll be there in 2 years after this coming March.
Like Golddollar said, a trip to the gun store sounds appropriate for this milestone. Better yet, a few cans of Pearl or Lone Star then get online and pick something out. If what you want is a little too pricey, drink a few more beers. Throw in a couple shots of Wild Turkey; you'll be surprised how well that helps with your online gun purchases! Peace! Jeff T.
 
I'm a little over a year behind you and agree with your observations! A man about 20 years our senior taught me that Birthday of any number, the proper gift for yourself would be in Stainless Steel! Think Models that start with a "6", rifles, shotguns, watches and of course a Delorian! Twice on my birthday I have found Browning Superpose shotguns at reasonable prices. They weren't stainless, but I'll repent later! (they handle like a dream come true)

So happy birthday and happy shopping! (BTW, the shopping for my birthday excuse is valid for 30 days on both sides of the event!)

...Happy Birthday, my good sir! I am facing 74 two weeks from tomorrow and I keep thinking, "How did I get this old this fast?"
May God bless you with a joyous celebration with family and friends on your Birthday!
