Happy Two Billionth Birthday!

Would you believe there is one billion seconds in 33 years! Uncle Willie will be 66 years old this October 5th. That's two billion seconds.

When he turned one billion seconds he only had a wife, son, and daughter. Now that he is two billion seconds old, he has a wife, two sons, a daughter, a granddaughter and five grandsons.

Wow! What a difference a billion seconds makes.

Editors Note: I've never taken issue with Sherry's mathematics before but she is off just a little this time. According to Google Calculator 66 years = 2,082,757,110 seconds. So Willie is now almost 83 million seconds into his third billion. He actually hit 2 billion back when he was 63 years, 4 months and about 15 days old.

How he has used those 2 billion seconds is interesting. If I give him credit for the second it took him to say "I do" when he married Carolyn, and a second each for the birth of Johnnie, Dawn, William and the six grandkids, that a total of 10 seconds that would be considered 'memorable'. That leaves 2,082,757,100 seconds that he has simply wasted sleeping, eating, working and PLAYING GOLF. - Clyde

I was watching something on televsion about 20 years ago. It said that if you were to count to a billion you wouldn't have a thing to do for 33 years. That is were I got the idea.

Hope you had a great birthday and that you're feeling better. Ted's back surgery has done wonders for him. You might want to talk to him about it.

Love You

I feel every one of those seconds. Thanks for the birthday wishes; I had a very enjoyable birthday here at the beach with Carolyn, Jon, Tiff, Katie, Kendall and Clark. Haven't had internet service until today so couldn't read The StalkerClan until today.
