to be 57 …

I’m 57 years old, which doesn’t seem old from this side of 60. I guess it’s a matter of perspective and lately mine has been narrowed. Nothing like a chest x-ray to focus one’s prospective.

Had Family April birthday gathering last weekend, because it was Easter we had ham but there was also chocolate cake. Then Friday JQ cooked a great pasta dish, tons of garlic, pepper flakes and grated cheese. Two excellent dinners for one birthday.

Spring has started to re-emerge in Oregon and we actually had a couple of dry days. JQ got a bunch of stuff planted … and I managed to get my drill press [ via, Nan & Jay via Steve Berg ] rewired and afixed to the work bench.  One of my bday presents was a bench vice which was also mounted this weekend.

I also got an RC helicopter … it’s the rule that you get toys for at least one of your birthday presents … still learning to fly this little bugger.
