I am usually a play-it-safe guy, but I would consider skydiving. It seems like a thrill ride from a few thousand feet in the air. Of course, I would want to skydive tethered to an experienced person who could do a huge part of the work and would guarantee I would make it back on the ground safely. All of it seems like a lot of fun or something like that.
Bearing false witness about a community and its people is not holy and certainly not American. I support all the Springfields out there who are just trying to make it in the days we live in. For a candidate for President of the United States to advance this false rhetoric makes them automatically unqualified for the job.
As I celebrate my 55th birthday, I think about how things are different for those of us in Generation X who are getting older.
We don’t have as many worries about student loans but medical bills that need paying. Health care is not cheap for anyone.
Our music is being used to sell us stuff like medication, mortgages, and in grocery stores.
Conversations with friends mean reminiscing and remembering about our youth while also talking about what ails us.
We are closer to being able to order from the senior menu at a restaurant and we are surprised when a fresh-faced teenager gives us a senior discount on our receipts at Arby’s.
Being a grownup looks different for us. I am getting older but not growing up whatever that means. Adulting can suck if you ask me but by now I have to be used to it but you don’t have to like it.
Thanks for listening to the rambling of an older person living their life at a milestone birthday.
It’s Time For ALL ELITE WRESTLING ALL IN coming from Wembley Stadium in London, England. This is the only pay-per-view I order each year. This is the best in professional wrestling. There is so much action and surprises to look forward to. Let’s Go Kids!
There’s been this perversion that has taken place which is to suggest that the measure of the strength of a leader is based on who you beat down, when what we know is the true measure of the strength of a leader is based on who you lift up. We know that strength looks like.
