Smile Collapsing on Birthday!
I just received my 89th Birthday Message from the SoberRecovery team. Along with thanking them I thought I'd also thank you since I feel a little like Mr. Grace of Grace Brothers Department Store, the English Comedy TV Series. He's an old "geezer" (pardon the P.C. boo boo) like me who, on visiting his staff, ends up saying, in a quavering voice, "You're all doing very well!" and then collapses backwards into the arms of his beautiful young nurses! "Thanks a bunch out there! You're all doing very well!"

Bill

My dad refers to himself as a geezer as well - no worries on the PC front and happy birthday!

Happy Birthday Bill

The real Mr Grace (the actor) was nowhere near 89 so you're doing very well

Happy Birthday.
I know you don't know me, but I have read a lot of your posts, especially the ones to Aiko. They are so entertaining and smart. And full of wisdom. Thank you. You are a good man.
Enjoy your birthday to the fullest.
