Such a positive attitude as the years advance fill, I feel sure, all of us with a sense of envy and admiration. Your posting reminded od two sayings: "Why is it the minutes drag and yet the years fly by? "; and at the beginning of a book of photographs by Norman Parkinson of beautiful women "Oh to have known at 18 what I now know at 80!" - what a great book that was, with each beautiful woman dedicated to a friend except one page where there was a photograph of a bunch of grapes and the dedication "To ... who always said he preferred a good bottle of wine to a good woman any day." Don't cut those 72 further years down to a mere thirty but aim at the whole 72. You are a legend that we all admire. It is a true honour to be able to celebrate the passing of the year with you.
