So I am celebrating the Big 70 tonight. [View all]

Drinking a few beers....by myself. Had a medical review a few days ago and my PHP asked...do you have any issues? I said...."nope, I'm consistent....have been for the last 50 years of my life. My vices, my weight, and my outlook on life haven't changed."
