50? Boy, are YOU ancient!

Welcome to the club! I LOVED turning 50, much to my surprise.

A month before my birthday, less than a year and a half after I badly dislocated my shoulder in a motorcycle accident, spending 6 months in P/T, I took and passed my Black Belt test.

A week and a half before my birthday, we brought home our new baby boy from Guatemala, and our 10 year old only child became a big brother!

On my birthday, my wife and older boy took me to see Hal Holbrook in "Mark Twain Tonight!", his farewell run of the classic one-man show that defined one-man/woman shows.

Monday is the 5th anniversary of that day we brought our little one home. We celebrate it as "Family Day"--the day our family was completed. The little one is going to Kindergarten in the Fall and the big one is almost as tall as me!

And I'm turning the "double nickel" really soon.

Age is just a number, though sometimes IT'S A REALLY BIG NUMBER!
