Turning 50

This year I will be turning fifty.  It is also a year that I can say that I have been married longer than I was single.  I think turning fifty is a big deal.  It is a good time to look back on your life but also good time to plan ahead.  It is kind of a midterm of life.  I want to do fifty new things that I have never done in my life before this year's end to celebrate this milestone. I found out that I have had a pretty good life and it was not an easy task to come up with the list.  I mean there are plenty of things that I have never done before, but that is because I have no desire to do them. 

So here it is, after 5 months of careful consideration my fifty things to do this year.
