Well, the Old Man is 54 today and he doesn't look a day over, say, 48. He has been running at least 3x a week, an hour at a go. Last week he ran with a gf of mine, of ours, really, and they went 7.4 miles. She kept up, and the run didn't phase her, but when she found out their distance, I thought she would keel over. For his bday LO and I got him a heart monitor, a Nike iPod +, and new running shorts & shirt, the kind that dry up quickly when you sweat.
He is so low-maintenance it is hard to feel worthy. You just want to pamper someone you love. But he doesn't want it.
I had to zoom off to LO's school early this am for the third of 3 presentations this week. He made his own coffee. He has been mowing, trimming, weeding, and pruning all day. Did not want lunch. What do you want for your birthday dinner? Sushi -- a quick trip to the market.
Happy birthday, old fellow. I love your crusty old heart.
