Since tomorrow is my birthday and also my wedding anniversary I feel that I can exaggerate one but not the other.

I can't proclaim and exaggerate I have been married for 30 years, that would be a lie and probably an impossibility. She is a Scorpio and I am a Gemini. Scorpios are devious. They are also poisoners, so when the time comes she will be adding anti freeze to my milk and probably finish me off with succinyl choline. Terrible thing to say but you gotta watch your back and other stuff with this bunch. I love her beyond belief but she has told me that she used to put oil of ipecac in her husbands bar. Sat back and watched him and all his friends upchuck mightily. Hell, the old bartenders didn't mess with that. They just dumped in some wood alcohol to pesky customers.

Tomorrow is my 74th birthday. I think I am doing pretty good for that age and hope to be a nuisance for a few more years.

See, this is the one I can exaggerate. If women can be perpetually 29 or even a brave 39 then I figure I can add 20 to mine to make up for my shortcomings. Being in the shape I am in at 54 is bad but if I proclaim to be 74 then I get accolades for how well my geezer a$$ is doing. Pretty neat huh!!

Works for me, Party on...
