tell us a story grandpa! what have you learned in allllll your years of wisdom...

Happy Birthday PIF!!!

Happy Birthday, PIF!

Party on!

Doesn't look old to me at all...

One thing I've learned is that if when you were young you pretended that you were experienced & wise, then when you're old you get to pretend that you're young, open, & always learning.

Another thing I've learned: if you pretend that you're young, open, & always learning -- you have a chance to make it so!

Peace out, kids!

Happy birthday man

Best wishes for a great birthday.

Tell us about the time you got in a fight with William Burroughs




Happy Late Birthday Professor PIF! Sorry I missed the party. I've been celebrating my wife's 9-11 birthday this weekend. For me, "9-11, NEVER FORGET" carries a much deeper, "or else" meaning.

Another way to say this: You know you are old when there is nothing left to learn the hard way

Oh I like this. I'm borrowing it. Yours? Or attribution.

Grandfather used to say it... so way predates me.

Pif, I remember your birthday because it's the same as Yao Ming's. Now, I just need a way to remember Yao Ming's birthday. I got it - it's the day after 9/11. Happy birthday weekend!

It's great, isn't it?

I tell you what -- if true, I guess I'm not old yet: "the hard way" remains the only way I ever learn anything.
