Half a Century

When this post is published, I am fifty years old.

Go me!

Thanks, Mom!

This website is about thirty years old.

Go World Wide Web!

Thanks, Sir Tim Berners-Lee!

I have spent just over half my years in California versus Illinois. It is where we raise our kids, and where we own our home. Chicago and the Midwest will always hold a special place in my heart, but I have become one of those sunshine people who are just an earthquake away from sliding into the ocean.

Go Bears!

Thanks, California!

Our marriage, like our older kid and our mortgage, not to mention our cats, and my current job tenure, are all just over a decade old. (And the younger kid is closing in!)

I recently heard it said that your first decade is the happiest. But my forties have been really great as well. What makes a good childhood — being surrounded by loving people who support your growth — can really come back to you when you work to be a good spouse, a good parent, a good friend and a good citizen.

I am a very fortunate person.

Go Family!

Thanks, My Sweetheart!
