It's Never Easy To Say GoodBye, part II

It's hard to be too depressed when this is my daily commute...

In this case, I feel like it's my youth that I'm leaving.  Not that 50 is old, but I remember when I was a teen, the 50 year olds all seemed to have a good grasp of  being an adult and being reliable and responsible. Now that I'm here, I get the feeling that they were just pretending. Turning 50 seems to be a much bigger deal than 40.  I'm half way! (Oh, yeah, I never did turn 40, I've been 39 for the last 11 years and am now going directly from 39 to 50. No wonder it's such a big step!) I guess now I'll have to figure out what I want to be when I grow up. I still want to be astronaut, and a rock star, and win Wimbledon.  I probably should pick something and start practicing, I only have 50 more years.  I think my 'second half of life' resolution will be to try to pay more attention to who and what's good in my life and get rid of the extraneous stuff.

and this is the end of my day.

But say good-bye we must! Best wishes and all my love as you move on to the next half of your life, and all the wonder that it will bring you. Take care.

Happy belated birthday, Lynn! Is that houseboat still over on its side there? That went on for months while we were there.

It was great seeing you and Steve in Key West. We hope your trip to the Bahamas is smooth and we hope to catch up to you again sometime.
