Sixty? Are you freakin’ kidding me? Six whole decades of birthdays? Wow! That’s fabulous! Terrific! Awesome! Amazing! Certainly worthy of a major celebration!

When I met Rick, three years ago, we became instant friends. Now he’s my travel companion, tech advisor, website designer, dishwasher, and primary cheerleader. Guess that all qualifies him to be my BFF, doesn’t it?

We call this time of our lives “Bonus Rounds.” The odds were against either one of us being around this long (he longer than me, of course!), and we’re making the most of it. We barely get back from one fantastic trip and we’re planning our next adventure. There are so many places still left to see!

But today he’s taking a moment to pause and do not much of anything. I’ve insisted he sit and meditate on the power sunshine and positive thinking, and take the time to enjoy every minute of his very special day. Then tonight, I’m taking him to a four-star restaurant with a view that neither one of us has ever visited before.

I checked the date, and Rick’s in good company. Today is also the birthdate of Katharine Hepburn, Yogi Berra, George Carlin, and Burt Bacharach. And if you know who all those celebrities are, then you, too, are getting up there in years!
