I hit 51 this past year and decided to blog about that and whatever else moves me.

Here’s a conversation I’ve had many times just before starting to blog. It goes like this:

“So what’s new?”

“Not much. Hey, I’m starting a blog.”

“A what?”
(Typical reply by those my age….the younger generation usually asked about what?)

“A BLOG. It’s going to be a combo of insight and bs!”

“You may have found your calling.”

And so just over a couple of years ago I started reading and researching and learning about these digital medias. I did so with a variety or reasons that include participating in a greater community, staying current (if that is possible in this world of amazing speed of dramatic changes), discussing relevant topics I find interesting, and finding the writing itself good exercise for the mind.

What has hitting 50+ meant? Lots of things both good and not so good. The commitment toward genuineness and against pretentiousness is my focus. Amazing to me those I am surrounded by that live lives truly in quiet desperation and shallowness.

THINGS TO DO

  • Listen first, stay genuine, seek clarity
  • Plan for hiking the Grand Canyon (2011)
  • Scale a 14ner, at least one more time (possibly summer 2010)
  • Increase awareness of those in need and act (in progress)
  • Finish my Masters in Adult Education and Training (JAN 2011)
  • Cruise the Eastern or Southern Caribbean
