[ Years ]

On March 4th, I’ll have made another successful journey around the sun.  Time is tracked by celestial increments: earth’s rotation for our days, the moon’s journey for months, and a big circle around the sun for our years.  Fifty-three is a lot of journeys around the sun, and most of them have been fun.

Three years ago at this time I was skiing.  Four years ago, I was recovering from my fifth Ironman.  Thirty years ago, I was about to graduate with my civil engineering degree. 

Thirty years from now, I’ll be eighty-three and probably a darn good lawn bowler.
