Chuck Nessa Posted December 22, 2012 Report Posted December 22, 2012 Great. Does it make you feel old? Quote
Brad Posted December 22, 2012 Report Posted December 22, 2012 Congrats! How are the parents doing? Quote
BeBop Posted December 22, 2012 Report Posted December 22, 2012 Congratulations to all involved. One step closer to "Grandpa JSngry", if you're not already there. Quote
GA Russell Posted December 22, 2012 Report Posted December 22, 2012 Congrats Jim! Grandpa, tell us what it was like when you bought something called records! Quote
JSngry Posted December 22, 2012 Author Report Posted December 22, 2012 All are doing well, thanks. The "band" was me playing solo saxophone on "You Are So Beautiful" for son and mom to dance to. It's the song we both sung to him when he was an infant. Everybody had a good time, they're a wonderful couple and I didn't feel at all old until the last of the running around, setting up, terain down, and bringing homw was over. Then my back started aching like it had never ached before. WHOA! Grandkids, not right away...nobody's ready for that just yet! Onward! Quote

All the best to the whole family. Personally I feel older 'cause your son is married. I want you to feel much older. Quote
PHILLYQ Posted December 23, 2012 Report Posted December 23, 2012 Congrats, you're well on your way to old bag-dom! To me, that's one of those milestones that signifies old bag. In my own life, now I hafta watch what I eat, when and how much due to gallstones, my left knee alerts me to upcoming weather events and reading the fine print requires my son sometimes! Congrats to you and your son, may he be happy and have a rewarding life as a married man Quote
BruceH Posted December 23, 2012 Report Posted December 23, 2012 Wow. Congratulations to all involved! Quote
JSngry Posted December 23, 2012 Author Report Posted December 23, 2012 Didn't feel old last night. Feel very old right now. The pendulum swings, I guess. Quote

JSngry Posted December 23, 2012 Author Report Posted December 23, 2012 That's why he got to be Roger Miller. Seriously, I'm tired of worrying, don't have anything to worry about right now, so I'm starting to worry about stuff that might happen, but just as easily might not. I've stopped smoking, drinking, drugs, and am now trying to eat less.Music was just a projection of the worries, not a relief from them or an alternative to them. I got god, which might well be the only thing that keeps be going straight ahead every day. god, and the love of and for family. But I can't still stop worrying. I guess this is how it goes, eh? You stop worrying about 'em when you die, and not a moment before. Blessing/curse. I'll take it. Gladly. Quote
mjzee Posted December 23, 2012 Report Posted December 23, 2012 There is no such thing as perpetual tranquility of mind while we live here; because life itself is but motion, and we can never be without desire, nor without fear, no more than without sense. - Thomas Hobbes Quote
