The Old Coot's 80th Birthday


Rocky likes chocolate cake--the candles he says he can do without!


He likes presents too--just like any birthday boy!


One of the things that now give him the most pleasure is listening to music which this Bose music system should handle nicely!


And following cake and presents, we started opening cards but will have to finish tomorrow. There were 63 this morning, but then the mail came and now there are 74! He's also had half a dozen e-mail messages, and numerous phone calls. 


We both agreed that getting cards now when he can enjoy them and know how many friends he has is a whole lot better than waiting for the sympathy cards that come with a funeral and only the survivors open the envelopes; I doubt that it can be said  that they "enjoy" them!
