The Sixes

The sixes, that would be 6 and 6 or 66.  Today the old man turned 66 years of age.  Naturally he still contends that he is only 27 but we know better.  The man is a fighter.  There were some rough time that he got to pass through whilst 65.  Hopefully 66 is much kinder and gentler to him. Certainly am grateful for his influence on my life and for the example he sets of service and genuine kindness to other people.  Even through the toughest of times he was still quick with a joke and a laugh.  Sometimes I just have to roll my eyes and laugh inside because he keeps telling the same joke over and over again and continues to get a kick out of himself.  Too funny.  I just need to remember that though I have heard the joke X number of times, the person he is sharing it with may be hearing it for the first time.  Either that or they are pretending it is the first time they are hearing it.  In either case he will continue to share said jokes whilst 66.  There just isn't an expiration date on good humor.
