John,<br>
<br>
60 is OK. The problems start at 63. That's when everything seems to
start<br>
failing. I am 66, will be 67 in May and have too many parts
removed. No<br>
doctor has offered to put anything in, just take it out.<br>
<br>
I am still doing things many younger men won't or can't do. you're
correct,<br>
age is a state of mind, think young, stay active and do the things you want.<br>
That's what make life fun.<br>
<br>
Happy birthday.<br>
<br>
Richard<br>
<br>
PS: How about meeting in Philadelphia for a steak sandwich?<br>
