Description


Hmmmmmmm. Any profound thoughts about turning 50 years old? Not really. A fairly famous, and all together apt, line from the Grateful Dead song "Truckin'", keeps running through my head: "Lately it occurs to me/ what a long, strange trip it's been..." Yep, a long, strange, funny, and beautifully bittersweet trip; surrounded by good friends. Thank you all for the kind birthday wishes. This is the cornerstone of the AON Insurance Company Building on North Broadway Street,in the Edgewater area of Chicago. Photographed on May 16, 2011.

I've been by that place so many times. Funny how little I notice about it. As for profound thoughts. I don't get too many of those. But I do have a question: aren't the tadpoles pretty? This is a great shot. I love the differing, stony textures. Happy Birthday.

For me, 50 was easy, 60 was hard. There's a French expression that translates roughly as "If you're over 50 & you don't feel any aches or pains, you're dead". I'm still truckin' though & enjoyin' the ride. Happy Birthday...

Fifty is the new thirty five. I like this elegant lettering.

Whoever said "life begins at 40" didn't have enough information. I've had more fun since I turned 50 than in the whole rest of my life put together! :)

I agree with Tara! I'm now 68 and I'm still waiting to see any other guy around here having as much fun as I am! There are some costs to this decaying body of mine...what doesn't hurt doesn't work...fortunately I hurt pretty much everywhere, LOL! I'm lucky, my father, had he lived, would have been 95 today and I've outlived him by two years so far and I never expected to make it past 50, and almost didn't, LOL!
