Fifties

When I turned fifty, I made a cake, the kids put fifty candles on it, and we lit it with the understanding that it might set the world on fire. And let me tell you, when you turn out the light, fifty candles do burn bright. 

It was a great birthday, one of my best. And that decade of the fifties... it was where I hit my stride and started doing fun things for me. Work projects, writing projects... I was just out there trying to have some fun. And I DID!
