: Rich-fed, my dear sir!

: I proffer most humble apologies at the lateness of this note. The my courier lost all his energy and quit, and finding a reliable subsitute took overly long. It is most frustrating to be in the position of desiring to send important messages when the means communication are temporarily out of order.

: At any rate, ALL BEST WISHES for the 50th Anniversay of your Natal Day. I will raise a glass in toast to OUR good fortune of your entry into the world and the paths that led you and yours to brighten our lives with this wondrous site.

: I remain your faithful servant, as always,

You're WAY too kind, my faithful servant! :) But, thanks ... mucho appreciated.

For my part, an old bluegrass tune by the name of "Old & In the Way," by band of same name (Vassar Clemments, David Grisman, Jerry Garcia, Peter Rowan, & John Kahn) sums it up for me. The chorus, and I paraphrase, as this is from memory (what's left of):

"Old & in the way,
That's what I heard them say.
They used to heed the words he said,
But that was yesterday.

Gold will turn to gray,
And youth will fade away.
They'll never care about you,
When you're old & in the way!"

Yep! That's it!
