Thanks, everyone!

I had a great, low-key day. Cgallagh made me an omelette ( if you know him you know it had to be good) for breakfast. My club had its annual end-of-season picnic this afternoon, during which they presented me with a cake, a card, and a gift certificate to a fine local restaurant. The we spent time with friends and shared some fine wine. I'd have gone for a ride today but the wind was even more brutal than it was yesterday, when I rode twice my age with cgallagh on our tandem. Yeah, I played the wimp card, with no regrets.

I remember when I thought 53 was Social Security-worthy. Now it's a launching point for my next accomplishment. There's much to be said about getting older, and so far, it's all good.
