Birthdays are a great time to reflect. Here,  The cats and I are reflecting on the wisdom  of getting a dog. 

Popping in to say HI on a milestone birthday. I was born on Henry David Thoreau’s birthday, the same year Star Trek had its debut. I am happy to count them both as influences. This past year has been full of personal change, and the next promises to follow suit.

I’m ready to start the next half century. Big plans. I’ll clue you in on a later day. For now, I wish you candles and wonder and abundance and, for us all, tranquility as needed.
