Re; 50

Happy birthday Steve! sorry to have missed such a milestone I guess my record for remembering birthdays is pretty poor. Some of our readership would call you a spring chicken but I am only 51 so to me you are another aging relic in our family tree. Besides having to check the ..over 50.. box on any inquiry into yourself its not that bad. I actualy started thinking about it on my 49th birthday, I made a solumn pledge to myself when I turn 50 I will be in the best shape of my life. So I started one exersise program after another, Mt. bike, running, walking, basketball evry evening,various other ways of exercising. I know it was beneficial and it never hurts to stay in shape but somewhere along the way I realized I am never going to be in the best shape of my life. So I turned 50 feeling good about the shape I was in anyway, even though I know I wasn't going to run a marathon or ride on the supercross circuit. I have spent a considerable amount of time reversing that since then and I know I won't be able to wait till 60 to make another solumn pledge to myself. I think this year I will just try to get as physicaly fit as our mother. That could wind up being another one of those lofty goals I won't reach.
