They say you are only as old as you feel. My corollary to this is, You don’t have to feel as old as you are. As to how old I feel, it depends on which day you ask me.

Here are a few other things that were born in 1966.

Beechcraft Model 99

Bell 206A Jetranger

Bell X-22

Mirage F-1

Dornier Do 28 Skyservant

Hawker Siddeley Harrier

Northrop M2-F2

I look at my peers and I’m like shit you guys are looking old AF. Then I realize I look similar and am no longer the “kid”. Here is a 1966 Datsun that this lovely lady will deliver as soon as she gets here heels out of the sand.

Of course, my parents were never celebrants of Valentine’s Day that I’m aware of, but I was also late by about that much.

Nothing tonight, but the second show of Carmen is tomorrow. My wife took the day off, and we’re going to be running errands, maybe get some lunch. Nothing fancy. Going out for a steak dinner tonight.

Love a day like that with my wife - no stress, a little productivity thrown in, just casual togetherness.

I also like steak. Enjoy.

Did you get to listen to that ridiculous Garrison Keillor clip I posted to your Carmen post? My parents used to listen to him when I was a kid.

ttyymmnn > davesaddiction @ opposite-lock.com

I must have missed it. I’ll go back and check it out.

Dana Gould, one of favorite comics, has a joke about how his father processes grief - he was born 9 months and 3 days after the JFK assassination.

A little more complicated than that due to the advance of (average) 1.25 days per year, not 1 day. Given a long enough life, more frequently than every seven (every 5.6), but with skips when it otherwise would come up.

Still not as complicated as finding out how often a month in a year will have five of a specific day - worked that one out one time.

In the Il-62 pic, you can see the little secondary anti-tipping strut under the back. A little wheeled dolly on a post to keep it from tipping into a stationary tailstrike with the engines off and tanks empty - freakin’ Russians.
