Well here I am ... officially 74 as of 11:25pm last night ... as my grandson Noah would say. I spent the day doing the things I love then was surprised by friends who showed up ... Surprise!
I want to thank everyone who emailed with birthday wishes (thanks guys) and was honored by the many phone calls from family and friends. Today I party with family in NJ. More later ...
Being 74 with no health or other issues is amazing. I feel just as I always did.

Something a psychic told me on my 41st birthday in 1984: "You're a teacher now and always will be, but you're going to be famous and do something important that changes the way people think." That sounded strange at the time.
