Café de Nuit

My inevitable descent towards lichdom has reached an inescapable point of no return. Today is my 50th birthday.

You just have to wait for your phylactery to arrive. Congrats on your Con score reaching zero.

Wow... never realized how close our birthdays were. Good to know. No matter how old I get, I can console myself that you're always 16 years and 1 day older.

You'll be receiving my Vassalich application shortly...

Oh, man, from the thread title I thought you were talking about Cheney.

so where does turning 32 on the 29th put me

Just saw this, and I bow to your newly gained point of wisdom, while the constitution, well...

Happy 50!

Thanks all!
... and to refute the supposition on my newly reduced constitution,

To celebrate my 50th, I have been in training for the last 6 months, preparing for a planned & much anticipated expedition. I have exercised like mad & followed a very strict diet, to the effect that I lost 50 pounds and 4 inches off my waistline. I flew to Oregon right after my birthday last month, where I went on a 50 mile solo backpacking trip, 5 days alone in the Three Sisters National Wilderness Area, following the Pacific Crest Trail, and where I also climbed the 10,000 foot Middle Sister mountain.
Anyone care to see some of my pictures?

Man, that's discipline! Congratulations on your birthday and the fantastic way you celebrated it!

Way great of you Jim! My father trained for a year before his 65th birthday to climb to the Everest Base Camp in 2008. He raised nearly 14,000 dollars for the Children wish foundation too!

Argh I'm 33... Vassalich application is in the post...

Five drops of blood for you.

So from the pics it looks like you gained a level of Ranger, huh?

A belated congrats, from another vassalich to be

Woefully late I am, but friendly as ever are my well-wishes for you, old friend!

BTW, cool pics. My summer is spent in libraries, so: Envious Rafe is envious.

Happy Birthday and congrats on the many miles you walked. I'm 30 1/2 and I can't do that.

OOC: Let's not forget, in the real editions, alhoons are NOT liches! No matter what the 3rd and 4th edition will have you to believe. That's misinformation our agent spreads for adventures to think they have to locate our "phylactery" first before taking a pass on us!

Jim, many many congratulations for you.
For your 50 and for your spirit. Man, to go make a trip like that and give us those pics.... that's Epic!!!

Congratulations and thanks!
