Boat guy turns 60, (the new 50, right?)

Boat show guy lr

Honestly, I have no idea why I snapped this boat show self portrait outside the elevators at my FLIBS hotel, but isn’t it funny how the ceiling fan accidently suggests my propeller-head nature? I’m 60 years old today, friends, and I’m taking the day off.

Happy B-day. I say 60 is the new 40. I would like to pick your brain when you get back.

Happy birthday... and it does look like you've got a huge beanie on your head.

Happy Birthday Ben!! (I do like your beanie prop head photo!) It was fun seeing you at FLIBS and watching the remote 'head' monitoring with you!

Best wishes,
Lynne

Happy Birthday Ben. I beat you to 60 by a couple of months. I feel your pain!
