Countdown to Fifty: Ten Days to Go

2 Comments

In ten days, on August 28th, I will turn fifty. It’s a milestone, alright. A half century. I have mixed feelings about the whole thing. But here is my thought for the day:

On my birthday, Senator Barack Obama will accept the Democratic nomination for
President of the United States at Denver’s INVESCO Field at Mile High with 75,000 people in attendance. That’s kind of exciting.

August 28th was also the day that Martin Luther King made his "I Have A Dream" speech at the 1963 March on Washington. I haven’t figured out what I’m doing to celebrate the day. But I definitely want to be near a television.

  1. I turned 50 two years ago on August 28th and things have just gotten better and better. don’t dwell on the number….just keep having fun!

  2. My best friend from HS is also on the 28th–good day! She’ll be 51. Don’t worry–I turned 50 in April and I survived.
