Going to friend Teri's over the weekend for an early birthday celebration. It'll be good to see her again, and also good for a little change of pace.
We don't do anything much....just watch movies, have a few sips of something special, eat some good food and enjoy one another's company. We've been friends since Diane and I returned to San Francisco from Venice....sure was good finding such a great friend....same thing with Janie.
So I may not write anything into the blog for a couple of days.....I might write something on paper and then add it later, but we'll see. My main goal this weekend, after several weeks of grueling paperwork, helping with taxes and so on, A chance to unwind, take my mind off things and relax.
So for today, Fifty Five Is The New Chill Out...because that's just what I intend to do.
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.
