Still Alive at 55....at least I'm hopin.

No it's not my birthday yet, but will be soon. And I expect to make it. For all those younger readers out there, let me assure you that the Fifties can be great....I'm enjoying myself. This week the Geminid meteor shower was projected to be absolutely spectacular peaking on the 13th. We had a great boisterous tropical storm off the Pacific with torrents of rain, blustering wind, and unseasonably warm air. Normally I would have loved it, but the timing just sucked. Gotta tell ya, God. Scheduling is everything.
