I’m 76 years old today and I still don’t know what I want to be when I grow up.
I thought I had found a career path: I thought about becoming an Ancient Astronaut Theorist until I remembered that every lie I ever told caught up with me and tore me a new one. I’m just not a convincing liar.
Maybe by next year I will have found something to work toward.
I know what you can be!
You can be older than me. You’re good at that!
Happy birthday, LouisB 
Thanks for the good idea; staying older than you will give me a reason to keep living.
Happy Birthday from a fellow Red Raider.
Happy Birthday Louis.
Happy Birthday Louis, glad you are still around.
Seventy six is a lot of trombones.
Happy day!
I’m a year older than you. Just follow me.
I didn’t know anyone was older than me—you lead, I’ll follow.
Thanks to all for the good wishes.
OK. When I was 76, I spent three weeks in Karakol, Kyrgyzstan, then sailed across the Black Sea from Ukraine to Georgia on the 3-day truck ferry.
Happy Birthday Louis!
May heaven’s finest blessings shower down upon you!
You have a great personality, so can you dance? Cruise ship gentleman dance host.
Have a great year!
Happy Birthday, LouisB! When you figure out what you want to be when you grow up, please share. Me, I plan to never grow up. But I might rethink that.
FYI, this day in history, 1953: Jonas Salk announced he had found the polio vaccine.
I am closing in on 73 and I have the same questions.
My mind comes up with ideas which my body shoots down in seconds.
You follow ole 88 & I’ll follow you.
I still remember standing there & taking the sugar cube. Funny the things I remember from back when I was about 10.
Happy Birthday! If it helps I’m 47 and I still don’t know either. Guess I’ll keep trundling along until I find out.

Happy Birthday!! 
Sounds like a great job—except I have to use a cane to walk; I haven’t tried dancing in several years but I doubt a cane would be a help. But thanks just the same.
I am completely stricken with awe or should I just say I am awestruck. You have set the bar too high for me; I can’t make the jump. But I wish I could.
You’re pretty good at Doping, and you’ve had a lot of practice. I suggest you just keep doing that.
Wishing you a very happy birthday, LouisB.
