October 29 - today's my birthday. I'm 72. [View all]

How the hell did that happen? Seems like only yesterday I was 71.................

I used to say that to my mother on every birthday (with different numbers, of course) and she would laugh every time. When I turned 25 she asked me "How does it feel to be a quarter of a century old?" and I said "How does it feel to have a daughter a quarter of a century old?"

I'm still here. I'm still kicking. I think it's going to be a great day! So, to celebrate, I wish you all a great day too!
