Hard to believe. Maybe being nice keeps you looking young.

Happy Birthday, Bill!

March 18th must be a rough day for Ace McBride; first a birthday then followed by St Patty's Day. :o

Have one on me today and have one for me at McGuires tomorrow!

Happy Birthday Bill, I am proud to say I know two votes that will not be for Rick Santorum in Florida. Cheers and may you have a wonderful 2012 and proceed gracefully toward 71 with plenty of rounds in the 70's.

Bill, you're seventy?!  From your posts and our exchanges and from a few pics of you I figured you were like 55, tops!  Which either means you're immature for your age, or that you took some mighty powerful drugs in your San Francisco days!  :)

All the best
