Mick Jagger is 72 and touring, Willie Nelson is about to turn 82 and tours and smokes weed all day. So at 45 I consider myself just getting started with alot more to go. I don't believe in age as a concept numerically, it's total bs.
Sixty-two as of yesterday, so stop yer sniveling, suck it up 'n grow a pair.
When I was just a lad yer mom used to say another B Day is always better than the alternative. She was a wise woman. Taught me much.
Congratulations! Keep on keepin' on. You've never struck me as a particularly bitter person though, you really don't want your 2+2 legacy to be build on lies, do you? Hopefully nothing a few more decades can't change
