I'd bid you to "Live Long and Prosper", but it appears you already have.  Happy Birthday, ferrari!

Thank you for the sentiment, but I haven't lived near long enough.  I am in a race with my mother.  At 93 she is far ahead.

Happy birthday Ferrari! What was it like when they discovered fire? (also, God bless your mom--how awesome that she's still going at 93!)

Hell, I'm constantly going and I'm only 63!  :(

THEY????  I discovered fire, while trying to perfect my wheel.  (At least, according to my Stanford application essay.)

PS. As for my mom, she lives alone in her own house and enjoys trips to Vegas and Santa Barbara.  At our insistence she limits her driving to around town, although she did recently sign a 3 year lease on a new car.  She has 4 living children, 4 living grandchildren, and 7 great-grandchildren, all of whom are welcome to Sunday dinner at her house anytime.  When she broke her hip a year ago she hated being confined to the house for awhile.  I suggested a notarized scooter but she gave me a dirty look, saying, "Those are for OLD people!"

PPS. And Garvin that is a wild exaggeration.  I tried to enlist but they said I was too old.

I love autocorrect.  It provides my best material.

Happy Birthday! (sorry they didn't do this in your name, but it's the thought that counts)

Happy birthday, Ferrari. Even though Garvin thinks I'm the oldest person in the world, I'm a shade younger than you, so I got that going for me. (And I mean a shade...)

Thanks, Nan3cy.  By the way, you looked awfully good in that fig leaf, especially when you wore it under that Apple tree.  Remember?  Right after we were given dominion over all the animals?

I am here for three reasons only.  One, to put the lie to the "40 year commitment.  It is much longer than that.  Two, to torment Yvonne.  Three, the share the story, one day, of the time I gave Coach Warner a secret play to use against C.al.  Hint: he called it The Wildcat, not me.
