The Persistence of Time

Check this out: a while back, my watch stopped working. Again. After a couple changes in batteries, it just up and quit one more time. Instead of going back to the watch shop I just shelved it. Two weeks ago, it started running again. Like time just crept back into the watch and hoped I wouldn't notice its absence.

And now it's my birthday and I'm thirty-five and my watch is finally working.

Amen.

Happy Birthday!

Oh, 35! I remember it well. OK, I barely remember it, but I know I WAS once 35, way, way, way back there somewhere.

Hello and happy birthday!

Happy birthday - a mere 35. Usually calls for a mid-life crisis. I suggest you avoid it. Eat lots of ice-cream instead.

Happy Birthday!

35's a good age - old enough to be taken seriously by people, but young enough to still have your looks and health, usually without major surgery for either.

Hope you have a great year young fella! I quite recall 35 feeling a bit oldish, but now that I'm forty I see that at this age you are in the very prime of life!! Live it up Mooseman! :
