Happy Birthday to ME :)

Not much to report this week. I have been on vacation and have been walking every day even though we have a heat wave and are setting record temperatures every day. I try to get up early and get the walk in before the heat sets in. Mostly I walk 4.5 miles. I did walk 7 miles one day but the issue is a small blister on each heel which will not go away and which prevents me from walking further.


While walking, I was trying to think of something clever to write about - like KKK horses, or a fan that cools an entire city, or coyotes following me as I walk...anything. My only thoughts were that maybe I am becoming just normal - nothing has happened this week. Am I becoming ordinary?


About the only thing that happened is that today, May 27th - I turned 50. Fifty!!! OMG, I guess I am getting old. And here is the proof. My neighbours were very nice about inviting me out to a restaurant for dinner. They took me and my wife to a place called Betty's in a small town on the outskirts of Niagara Falls. I have been by this place many times but have never gone inside. You see, this place is always busy, but busy with old people. People with canes. People with walkers. Men with white hair if any at all and ladies with died pink or blue hair. And now, I am in there too.


I don't feel any different than I did yesterday when I was only 49, but with each day forward, I am further and further along the trail of being 50. I guess now I am old.
