60 years ago today, I came into this world loud but blessed. 60 years later, I am still just as loud and blessed as ever. Now, it just comes at a slower pace and with some extra aches and pains along the way.

However, the world around me has changed A LOT in the last six decades. For example:



Everything in the world has changed since I was born 60 years ago.
- Or, should I say, ALMOST everything.

I remember in elementary school, the population reached 4 million. There’s been a lot of water under the bridge since then.

At 60 I was just becoming aware that I had damaged my mind & body with wild sexx, drink, bad foods & sweets, the ole bode was slipping away, peak income was about to diminish, etc..

But instead of making wise decisions & needed adjustments, I continued full blast thru the 60’s..

With working more to semi-retire but also did more dating, taking up shag dancing which involved more socializing which meant more abnormal weekend drinking but continued daily exercises..

And today at 83.10 yrs of age I regret some of my cowboy mindset & actions while in 60’s & 70’s..

But again probably not except for spending more $ than saving.

Enjoy the ride!

27 people ORBITED the Moon, but only 12 landed on it. Apollo 8, 10, and 13 orbited the Moon only (3 men each). During the missions that landed, only 2 men landed on the Moon using the Lunar Module (and walked on it) during Apollo 11, 12, 14, 15, 16, and 17. The command module pilot stayed in orbit.
