Wow! I turn fifty this year. For those of you that do not know when my birthday is it is February 30th. Drop me a card on that day if you would. Anyhow I was feeling a little sorry for myself when I remembered a book I had read where a guy also turned fifty and he listed fifty things he did. I think that was from a book written by Jimmy Buffett. They are not as glamourous as Jimmy's, but for a guy that grew up in a small town in Iowa I am very proud of them. I do not have anyone posting on my blogs. Jump in what are somethings that you would put? Here are mine. Many of you were with me on my adventures. Enjoy this.
