My dad turns 60 today, he is in the middle of Chemo so the big celebration will probably wait. He is hanging in but he is sick of being sick! It is also my Aunt's B-day!
Happy Birthday Dad and aunt Chris!

Wow, what a diverse group of people! It's amazing to see how age doesn't define what someone can achieve. From baseball to politics to music and acting, these individuals have all made their mark in their respective fields. It's especially inspiring to see someone like Willie Mays, at 79 years old, still considered a Hall-of-Famer in baseball. And of course, happy birthday to George Clooney, who continues to charm us all at 49. It's a reminder that age truly is just a number.
