The Big 50

[Gulf Coast Blue]

I turn fifty tomorrow....sigh....

I have always had birthdays alligned with resolutions.....this year I hope that I will keep both.

I want to get in better shape. Luckily, my oldest daughter bikes, rock climbs, and swims several times a week. I don't rock climb...........but bike often and once was a competitive swimmer (albeit when I was younger). I was biking quite a bit when the weather was a bit nicer (we have been having 40's for a few weeks). It has got to get better.

I also want to umpire more often. There were years that I umped more than 250 games...........alas......I have fallen off.

But I am sure with the help of my friends here that I will be able to once again strive to get back into the swing. Happy new year all.
