Wishin' and Hopin'

Today is The Professor's birthday. Thinking about it on ordinary days, it's a pretty good thing. Because most birthdays are. Good things, I mean. But there's this one, stinkin' little detail: He's younger than I am. So every year I wake up on his birthday wishin' and hopin' and thinkin' and prayin'....that he'll be older than I am. But every year it's the same dang thing. He just can't seem to catch up with me.

Happy Birthday, Professor.

Thanks to all for your congrats on my 61st birthday. (But if wishing can make me 61, why can't it make me 51, or 31?)
