Super kudos to Magic Paddler for his achievement.  Magic, after Opasquia and some of the bushwhacks I KNOW you have been through in the past few years, I'm not quite sure how you managed to remain with the living quite this long.  Truly, you are an inspiration to youngsters like me... & I'm 60!

Your post reminds me of my 21st birthday celebration.  Several of my local friends were setting in a bar where we usually went to drink on the North side of Chicago.  After a few pitchers one of friends (Glen who I had rode motorcycles with for a couple of years) while looking at me he raised his mug and said “ I never thought you would live to be 21”.
