Birthdays

Well, today is my birthday and I am middle-aged... I used to love it when my birthday came, but now I just continue my routine. I feel younger than I am and that is just fine. Of course, I love to get gifts and showered with congratulations, well my ego likes it, but I just continue on... unlike the unfortunate people in Haiti. My heart and thoughts go out to all who experience these types of disasters, however I am particularly sad when these events happen to countries or regions that are trying to survive or rebuild or just don't have the resources to sustain a stable economy or government or quality of life. I think I will celebrate my birthday today in tribute to those approximately 50,000 who will not.

    Very, very selfless thoughts for the thousands less fortunate than ourselves.  We are so lucky in many ways in countries and communities that have caring attitudes.   When you say you are middle aged, what is your age?  I will hopefully be 78 in four months' time and I still am able to work on different jobs.  Many people of course lack skills and confidence to do many different jobs.

    You are a good chess player.  Do you calculate before each move?  I do not.
