Today is my birthday . . . again. (Wasn’t the last one only a couple of months ago?)

Don’t ask for a number; I’ll just tell you that, while my mind still operates on the level of a 13-year-old, my body keeps reminding me that I’m older than dirt.

But stand-up comedian, actor, writer and film producer Steven Wright — who is a few years younger than I — has a great attitude about aging. He has said:

“I intend to live forever. So far, so good.”

Yeah? Well, let’s see if he still feels that way about living forever when he reaches my age and everything that doesn’t hurt like hell has gone completely numb or stopped working altogether.

But for now, I will agree with the second half of his philosophy: “So far, so good.”

Happy birthday to me.

Just sayin’ . . .
