I'm just amazed that Santa Claus could draw such things like *this*: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/21027752/ lol ;)
Ode to Doctor Osler
Brother I am sixty-one
So my work on Earth is done;
Calm should follow after storm
Reach me down the chloroform.We found these lines penciled in an ancient hand upon the wall of a old mill in Coventry, Connecticut, back in the 1970s. It has become a family tradition to recite the poem to a family member having reached said age. Dad was the first recipient in 1987, my oldest brother in 2012 (he retired from his job as a High School janitor a year later), and my middle brother in 2015. Now, it is yours to pass down to the -- ah -- deserving in the coming years.
Dr. William Osler was an otherwise admired physician, co-founder of Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, and Regius Professor of Medicine at Oxford. He once made a rather clumsy joke that was misinterpreted as suggesting that men should be euthanized past age sixty. I have found two quotes that may be related to this misconception:My second fixed idea is the uselessness of men above sixty years of age, and the incalculable benefit it would be in commercial, political, and in professional life, if as a matter of course, men stopped work at this age.Oh, I wish! And this:The teacher's life should have three periods, study until twenty-five, investigation until forty, profession until sixty, at which age I would have him retired on a double allowance.Well, it's certainly hard to argue with the latter quote! Dr. Osler himself passed away -- of pneumonia -- in 1919 at the age of 70.
Anyway, you look good with the full beard...

I started going bald really early, like my early '20s, but my beard, though very coarse, has always been a tad sparse, so looked kind of feeble when it was dark, though did have the promise of dramatic grey streaks. Now, with the high contrast white, it looks denser than it really is.
We are NOT "sad old farts" my good Sir. We are seasoned, experienced and cunning! ( Dinnae be arguing here, just go with the PR eh? )
We are the respected and wise elders who are here to pass on the knowledge we have accumulated over time.
My hair started leaving me about 20 but what little remains is still brown. My mustache is iron gray but the bloody beard is snow white!
This is also why no one has been allowed to get a picture of me in at least a decade.

Its very cool to finally see what you look like today. The only picture of you that I've seen was Sci-Fi channel's 1993 Confurence coverage.

Actually, more a poke at the various 'what is a true fan' thing than anything else. In the very broadest sense, yeah, I'd qualify as a 'furry fan', but with all the selective definitions and attempts at arbitrary criteria for what makes a 'proper' furry fan, I tend to avoid the whole business. At various times there has been shock and surprise to discover i"m not a hardcore lifestyler or all things anthro fanatic.
