Good Morning fellow EXer's! I just wanted to stop in this morning and thank everyone who helped me celebrate my 60th birthday on Sunday! 60 years old! How in the hell did that happen? Somehow, my mind got stuck somewhere back in my thirties!

My body,on the other hand, reminds me on a regular basis that I have been roamimg the planet much longer that anyone who knew me "back in the day" would ever have ever guessed! It is amazing what the body will tolerate, and bounce back from! All the years of abuse! Mind boggling! Of course there could be hidden damage that will surface down the road, but I will not borrow trouble! We all wonder how much damage we may have done with our years of smoking! No doubt there is a price to pay! There are consequences to every action! We must however shift our focus to the rewards that we enjoy everyday as EXer's

I may be getting older, but I no longer smell like an ash tray! At 60 I can climb steps that absolutely took all my breath 20 years ago! I can sit through a whole movie without a smoke break and the challenge of putting together the parts that I missed! I never rush through a magnificant meal to get to the trip outside at the end! I can sit and enjoy it all without rushing to feed an addiction! I am Free! And I owe so much of the credit for that to all of you!

So again! Thank you, thank you, thank you all, who have once again made my life a bit more special! Now I have to go! I have got a Train to catch!     Tommy
