Peter, Thank you !

Fifty-Nine its self does not seem to be such a big trip without my realization that the next integer is Sixty ! Is there is any logic in the emotional aspect of my perception that Sixty will feel like a milestone accomplishment as apposed to Fifty-Nine ? OR , in theory is this just a case of On Sale For Ninety-Nine Cents ? We can refer to this from here on as The Ninety-Nine Cents Theory

To all of you friends here that are about to become Sixty Years of age I send my sincere heartfelt Happy Birthday wishes of brotherly acknowledgment of accomplishment of the Zeitgeist verity . We have both seen and experienced the same Movies and Tunes of life with our own eyes and ears within our own unique perceptions. Emotionally ;Fifty-Nine going on Sixty is starting feel like Twenty-Nine going on Thirty !

Human perceptions are a such a TRIP !
It is highly probable that an equation will not be found for these perceptions except for i
The imaginary unit or imaginary number, denoted as i

Conceptually;_____ If we embrace our existence as a huge radius in tune with the universe and congruent with its dimensional presence instead of a straight line with incremental integers with a finite start and end we cannot get old, just infinitely present locked in without time, forever on our souls journey in the path of the radius.

ZEITGEIST !

Happy belated Pi day Wolf. I enjoy your posts here. Didn't take long to realize you're one of the elder statesmen among Alembicans. =)

Interestingly enough, I use Pi almost daily in my job, calculating volume of spheres and cylinders... I usually carry out four decimal places for accuracy, which is 3.1415 - it'll be a while before that day happens again.

Many happy returns. =)

Sonicus..ZEITGEIST..too heavy for me man!
I hope that doesn't mean we do it again with the same outcome 'cos I would change a lot of things if I had the chance!

Terry , Zeitgeist ; You and I have common ground as we experienced many of the same in music and art and culture with both of us living in the same time frame.

What wisdom that we have gained due to advancing age is a separate issue. In retrospect I too might have handled a few things differently in my life if I would have had a service manual and schematic diagram on my self as a young man. Back then I just did not know who to watch my rear wheel spin and watch the road simultaneously. That is not so easy to do . ( still difficult to do )

Happy belated, Wolf. You're still younger than I, if that's any consolation.
Live Long And Prosper.

Wolf -

Hope it was a good one filled with Pi, cake, pedals/spokes and lotsa clean, clear low end.

Just a few of the round things that make life worth living - along with a circle of good friends to share 'em with!

BTW: I too enjoy your presence here.

David, Thank you , I too enjoy your presence here. My Birthday was filled with all the above that you mentioned in your post and some nice unexpected surprises later in the day. I had a really nice Pi Day Birthday.

Sonicus..yeah I agree, reflection is a great tool for reassessment.
Since my minor medical scare I walk daily around the area where I live(since karate is off the menu temporarily at the moment) and where I live was once open spaces with fields which have now gone and been replaced by housing. I think back then when I walked with my daughter and our dog for hours on end, where did that time all go, seems fresh in my mind but to never return.
Still the experience has served us all well!
