Will You Still Need Me, Will You Still Feed Me..When I'm 64 Minus One

When I get older losing my hair Many years from now.

Damn...those many years are right now. Been losing the hair for a long time. Could be worse...all the hair could be gone. Hell...could be a lot worse than just the hair.

Will you still be sending me a valentine Birthday greeting, bottle of wine.

You say it's your birthday....it's my birthday, too, yeah! Sorry...wrong song but today I hit 63. OMFG 63!! How does that happen? When this song came out I was almost 16. Who thinks about this stuff at that age? I'm thinking about it now. There's only a year to go. Phew!

Grandchildren on your knee Vera, Chuck & Dave.

Hmmm...grandkids. That sounds pretty good at this age. Hmmmm...my daughter is getting married soon. Grandchildren on my next birthday? Triplets? Hey honey, what do you think of those three names? No pressure, though!

Seriously, being 63 and just getting older isn't such a bad thing. I've spent the last couple of days obsessing over a few people who aren't here and didn't make it to this age. I'm a lot happier to be here than with them. Plus the Hawks are two games from the Stanley Cup, The Cubs are doing okay and it's summer. Let's party!! We can revisit this 64 thing next year....me, you and probably my therapist!

Will you still need me Will you still feed me When I'm 64.

It wouldn't be my birthday without some Beatles. I wrote this on George's last birthday. Oy...I've outlived him by five years. Good for me, not so much for him.
