Funny, I Don’t Feel That Old…
Posted under How I See It by Mike
Who the hell is that man staring at me in the mirror?
So this is what forty nine feels like (yes, it’s my birthday today). A quick check in the mirror and I still see a young man. Either that or I need to get my eyes checked again.
All the parts are there, some just more than others and others less then some. There seems to be a little more waist in the middle and a little less hair on top. I noticed that things have shifted a bit.
A quick inventory tells me that I am in pretty good shape in spite of my “middle age.” The body is holding up pretty well, no major defects. The mind is still in tact no matter what my wife says. I’d have to say I am a very fortunate man to have what I have this time in my life.
I’ve had my share of experiences through my nearly “half century” of life. I been married and divorced and married again, I’ve had the opportunity to watch my three daughters grow into beautiful young women. I’ve had friends and family come and go into my life, some by choice others by fate.
But even with all of life’s ups and downs, this has been a good life. Few regrets and some great opportunities have come my way. I’m looking forward to what life has to offer in this second half.
Dude, the top pic is a little scary. Diggin the haircut
Happy bday?

Does this mean Happy Birthday!?
I love birthdays – so Happy Birthday just in case!
Just remember – age is just a number – it’s how you feel that counts!
(Remember, I’m still just 28).

Happy Birthday Mike! I’m only a few years behind you and I also cannot believe I’m not still that 21 year old looking for a good time. Have fun!

A little less hair! Ha! Better get those eyes checked too. Happy B-day. And, may the Birthday Fairy bring you eveything you want. Including unlimited refills of those little blue pills.
That first picture, please tell me those are shorts and not tighty whities!
Happy Bday if it is appropriate.

Happy Birthday! I’ll be there in three years. I know what you mean about still seeing the young man in the mirror. It’s the old fart I see on videos of myself from time to time that really make me feel rotten.
