Tomorrow, Valentine's Day, is my birthday. For the record, when my mom went into labor on February thirteenth, waaaaay back in 1949 (!), she swore she was going to hold out and have a Valentine's Day baby. I was born at eight minutes past midnight and have been hopelessly romantic ever since. This partly explains my work with The Care Bears.
This is a big birthday for me -- my 75th -- and my family is feting me to the max...as they should. I may be the oldest member on the board, but before anyone feels sorry for me about my advanced age, I quickly add that I still do Tony Horton's P90X3 workout once a week, heavy iron three days a week and a day of 60 minutes on my treadmill. I look and feel as good or better than I did at 45. This is due to having the Lord in my heart, an Irish angel by my side., three great children and the good fortunate of great genetics. So I think Tony Horton was right when he once said "Aging is for those who don't know any better."
With all that said, there's no denying tomorrow I'll be three-quarters through the ride, since my incredible medical team tells me I'm going to have no trouble hitting 100+. As for business, last year was the best year on record for my production company and I know the best is yet to come. So I don't dread this birthday. Rather, I embrace it, with excitement about the future. For now, I'm back to my latest script. As the playwright Noel Coward once said, "Work is much more fun than fun." Plenty of time to celebrate tomorrow. 
Oh, and kind as you all are, you really don't have to wish me the best or good luck. You see, I've already got it...and luck had very little to do with it. If you feel so inclined, just lift a glass of Guinness, or whatever's your pleasure, to a true and enduring warrior.
Beverages will be raised to you on your special day! I was supposed to be a Valentine's baby as well but wasn't quite ready to enter this world. Congrats on your milestone and wishing you a wonderful day!
@theman i wish you a happy, healthy and memorable 75th birthday tomorrow dearest sir ♡♡♡♡♡
i hope you're family and friends are able to wow you this year (what do you get for a 75 year old stud like you? 😁 i'm not sure, but i'm positive your family do honey, so we're looking forward to am update post revealing what you got and what you did)
don't forget to spoil your sweet wife tomorrow too, tomorrow is also special for her ♡ haha
Thank you, my friend. As for what I'm getting, I have advised my family I want nothing because I already have far, far more than I deserve -- amazing children and a wife and soulmate who inspires me to paraphrase Mark Twain when he once said, "Wheresoever she is, there is Eden." To which I'll quickly add, Kim's got a pretty good deal, too. 😉
You are correct to point out that one of the great joys I have from being born on Valentine's Day is that I get to give presents to others on my birthday. It took me many, many years to learn one of life's most important lessons: "It's in giving that we get." Better late than never. 🙂
Nice! Happy (early) Birthday!
Congratulations. 75 and in good health is an accomplishment. Here's to 25 more good ones.
Thank you, caliban. My docs -- and I've got one helluva team -- are all cheering me on, telling me it's definitely doable. 🙂
Happy B-day!
