2007

As we enter this year I have turned 50, my mother will turn 91 and my daughter 30. The dog is 11 and I think the cat is near 15. Some of us are obviously getting older than others but the direction of life is pretty consistent. There is no reverse, just turns and forward.
When I turned 50 in October 06 I said it was better than the alternative, that is still my feeling. It is not easy though to hit these later years. Your body aches, your bladder is weak and you got to keep ahead of those damn grey hairs. But at least there is tomorrow and tomorrow is a new and clean palate.
I am looking for a new job. Dara and I talked about a catering business today, we would leave finances and management to Melissa. Fortunes turn, new doors open. There is something to look forward to, sometimes you just have to move an obstruction.
