Today is my 50th Birthday!

I joined this forum a little less than a year ago.
In that time I have really enjoyed the humor and learned from the advice and wisdom that comes from this forum (Fifty Plus (50+)).
Today however... I have officially earned the right to be here, today I am fifty years old. I have climbed back on a bike back in August 2010 and have been feeling better than I have in the years gone past.

Cycling.... It's going to keep me young!

Hey, welcome.

By the way, I have this great bridge in Brooklyn that I would like to sell. Cheap. Interested?

Your not getting old, just closer to retirement, 15 years to go, until you can trade your big house in Philly for a cottage and put the rest into a Condo in Florida....
