I remember last year in the weeks and days...Allan,<br /><br />I remember last year in the weeks and days before I turned 50 how I too contemplated my existence...and purpose...and goals. Today, a bit more than a year later I am in the best physical shape of my life. It wasn't easy, but it sure was fun. I weigh less now than I did in 1995. That is pretty cool.<br /><br />Mentally I still feel sharp and creative, although the battle currently raging here in Wisconsin is wearing me out. Still trying to fight. Still trying to read. Still trying to inform the uninformed. According to the public polls we are winning the battle, but it is difficult to fight the power when the power has such deep pockets (and the assembly, the senate, and the governorship).<br /><br />I se one great paradox in your post: although I agree that the internet has been a wonderful addition to the world I would also argue that its presence, as well as the presence of much technology is largely responsible for the diminishment of the human experience.<br /><br />And lastly, for what it is worth, turning 50 has been good for me.<br /><br />Take care,<br />Larrylphhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17181262431785226913noreply@blogger.com
