Will you still need me, will you still feed me . .

Today I begin my 64th year. When the Beatles recorded the song which questioned how long love will last, the age seemed something so distant, so old. But upon reflection, the 63 previous years now seem just a short time on this planet but they have been years filled with love, adventure and a series of amazing events and relationships.

Today, and even as I write this, my current home, the Holland America ship Konigsdam is cruising one of this country's most amazing National Parks - G;acier Bay. And yes I will post pictures. But right now, I sip my coffee in my cabin, listen to some of my favorite music, and reflect on a life I can only hope has brought joy to others.

So happy birthday to me and here's to many more to come.
