Happy Birthday Buckles! I can't tell you how great it was seeing and jackpotting with you this past weekend! You have been such an influence in my life and how I approach working with animals. You are a great mentor and I appreciate your confidence in me and everything you did for me.

My father upon reaching a ripe age once said:

"I'm not as good as I once was.....but I am good once as I ever was."

So Buckles, take it slow and easy and make sure you take it all !

Happy Birthday

Bill

Just came to mind, a friend of ours who is a professional bassist turned 90 in Jan. We had to congratulate him on this milestone. He graciously replied, "What's the big deal? It isn't any different than 89!"

"Do not look upon it as being another year older, but rather as the anniversary of the day the world was first blessed with your presence."

A very Happy Anniversary and many more in health and happiness.
