Sometimes this Fifty Five comparison thing has little to do with ages, but we are talking emotions at any rate. Right?
So for today, Fifty Five is the new Billions and Billions, in honor of science-in particular physics and astronomy, in honor of Dr. Carl Sagan (who never really said that until his book with that title came out), and to the idea that the sky is indeed NOT the limit.
We can chain ourselves to the prisons we build or we can break free. It only takes a decision and the follow through. Some may think it irresponsible to have dreams.
"Dreams in this day and age..." I overheard someone saying on a bus recently.
Yep. Dreams. Damn those pesky things! But seriously folks, dreams are important...they are relative to our lives. They help us set goals, define our reality, serve as warnings and act as an amusement for erstwhile bored synapses.
It's important not to block them, important to encourage them.
Dreams are the stuff of life, like breathing and water.
So for today Fifty Five is the New Billions and Billions...for all of our dreams and all of our tomorrows.
When I was heading toward my Double Nickel Birthday in April 2009, the age 55 seems to be a lot of things. In this blog I will chronicle my thoughts about 55 Is The New, for the year beginning December 2009 because...well...that's when I felt like starting the blog. The entries will include that important day, my actual Fifty-Fifth birthday on April 14, 2010 and will continue for my entire fifty fifth year, concluding on April 14, 2011.

Welcome To Fifty Five Is The New!
Hello out there!
What's it to you, turning the age of Fifty-five? You don't have to be turning it tomorrow, you could have already turned that corner a while back. That part doesn't matter so much.
While it's important what one feels, what matters most of all that one feels, that one feels anything at all.
So, as an exercise in self-examination and a way of getting over an incredible writer's block, I submit this blog to the World Wide Web, and I submit myself to a bit of mirror gazing.
Inspired by the movie "Julie & Julia," I will blog for one year, which will include my turning fifty-five, and see what I find.
Who knows? Maybe fifty-five will be something fantastic...like the New Me.
