It's January 12th and that means Port Angeles' very own C-Lou Jon is a birthday boy.
Not just any birthday, though. This time we're talkin' five-oh. As noted previously, his wife traversed that speed bump a few years ago, so I imagine she's quite able to lead our salty fishing pal through the flagitious fifties.
Mr. Fifty, you're nifty, a super addition to this bunch. I'm happy to have met you. Have a wonderful day, and I'll catch you 'round the way.

Wow! Nifty fifty. Congratulations Jon -- and the Catman better duck, me thinks! Don't think C Lou is even close to that magic number yet.
See ya at the show, Brock? And Jon, and Cynthia??

You know...I'd make some stupid "old man" joke, but he can still out-run me and kick my ass.
I'll have to settle for puttin' his mug up on the front page.
Happy Birthday, Bub.

Happy Birthday Jon. What timing -- I've just gotten an "elderly joke email."
--- I felt like my body had gotten totally out of shape, so I got my doctor's permission to join a fitness club and start exercising. I decided to take an aerobics class for seniors. I bent, twisted, gyrated, jumped up and down, and perspired for an hour. But, by the time I got my leotards on, the class was over.
--- Reporters interviewing a 104-year-old woman: "And what do you think is the best thing about being 104?" the reporter asked. She simply replied, "No peer pressure."
--- The nice thing about being senile is you can hide your own Easter eggs .
--- Just before the funeral services, the undertaker came up to the very elderly widow and asked, "How old was your husband?" "98," she replied. "Two years older than me." "So you're 96," the undertaker commented. She responded, "Hardly worth going home, is it?
--- I've sure gotten old.! I've had two bypass surgeries, a hip replacement, new knees, fought prostate cancer and diabetes. I'm half blind, can't hear anything quieter than a jet engine, take 40 different medications that make me dizzy, winded, and subject to blackouts. Have bouts with dementia. Have poor circulation; hardly feel my hands and feet anymore. Can't remember if I'm 85 or 92. Have lost all my friends. But, thank God, I still have my driver's license.
--- An elderly woman decided to prepare her will and told her preacher she had two final requests. First, she wanted to be cremated, and second, she wanted her ashes scattered over Wal-Mart. "Wal-Mart?" the preacher exclaimed. "Why Wal-Mart?" "Then I'll be sure my daughters visit me twice a week."
---My memory's not as sharp as it used to be. Also, my memory's not as sharp as it used to be.
---These days about half the stuff in my shopping cart says, "For fast relief."
---I've tried to find a suitable exercise video for women my age, but they haven't made one called "Buns of Putty."
---Don't think of it as getting hot flashes. Think of it as your inner child playing with matches.
---Don't let aging get you down. It's too hard to get back up!
--- Remember: You don't stop laughing because you grow old, You grow old because you stop laughing.
- --THE SENILITY PRAYER : Grant me the senility to forget the people I never liked anyway, the good fortune to run into the ones I do, and the eyesight to tell the difference. |

Brock, I think I hear some gloves snappin'. Even though Dusty suggested that you "duck", I'm thinkin' you should run! 
Hey Jon...congratulations and a Big Happy Birthday to You! Don't anyone fool you, 50 ain't bad at all!

Brock, you've made a religious man out of Joe......he said "Oh, my Gawd, now Cynthia is going to be looking for Brock" as we recall what happened last year at the time of Cynthia's birthday.
And Jon, Best wishes for a great Happy Birthday. There's a LOT of us who'd love to be FIFTY again.
Ruth and Joe

Holy smokes!!! I just logged on and got the crap scared out of me. I've seen better looking heads on cabbage.
What a surprise. I thank everyone for your kind words and great humor, it really made my day.
C-Lou and I hope to make the Saturday night party. Really would hate to miss that.
I didn't get a new boat for my birthday but I did get a new Grunden's Sowester rain hat. It's the best.

Happy Birthday Jon,
I was saving my good wishes for tomorrow night since I will only make the one and now you up and get old on us so you too can only hold up to one night of partying. I just don't believe you're even close to that age and I'm sure C-Lou Must still be trying to catch up with you. As for your front page photo, the picture is worth the thousand words. A very Happy man in his Happy Hat.
So Jon, my wishes too for a very Happy Birthday.
Tim
