Monday was another birthday. 

I was born 2,461,622,400 seconds ago in a raging, flash, New York City snow storm at Women’s Hospital.

I came in an innocent at the weight of 9 pounds 8 ounces. 

Little did I know!

My life’s dark corner stones: Pearl Harbor, “JFK Shot!”, 9/11 and now this presently incurable Pandemic!


What next?  

It can only get better!

9 lbs 8oz...that’s a big boy ! Better days are certainly ahead. I see light across the valley. Happy Birthday Fred!

Hey big guy - yes, 9-8 was huge in those days - we survived the first three you listed and will survive this latest. And with 2,461,622,400+ behind you, I'm betting you focus more on the bright spots than these dark corners. I hope this year brings many seconds, minutes and hours of laughter and light.

Happy birthday. SorryI forgot it. You’re catching up to me
Fred Klein

And then all the people rushed out into the streets with joy...
Daniel Schwartz

Hey Fred, it could be worse. At least you can enjoy your social distancing in paradise. Better there than here. Hope your Birthday was filled love and good art with Joanne and Charcoal.

Happy birthday Fred. Stay safe.
Flo Feinberg

Happy, happy birthday to one amazing Boomer!
I was also born during a snowstorm... perhaps preparing us to weather the storms ahead and then emerge into the sunshine and warmth with renewed vigor and joy!

I got you on the day!
There were probably a few more - unfortunately - that add to the list you cite. No plans to make suggestions. I prefer a glass half-filled to empty.
1969 remains one of those magical years.
And is it not great to start each day with this sentiment (even in these times):
It's a good mornin' and I'm feeling' fine! (and saying so very loudly!!!).
