Well here I am ... officially 74 as of 11:25pm Friday night. I spent Friday doing the things I love then was surprised by friends who showed up ... Surprise!

I want to thank everyone who emailed with birthday wishes (thanks guys) and was honored by the many phone calls from family and friends. Today I partied with family in New Jersey where the temps hit 63°.

Being 74 with no health or other issues is amazing. I feel just as I always did.

Questions people ask:

Do I sleep well? 9 hours every night - white noise machine

Medication, drugs, drinking etc.? Never ... None

Diet: Protein and veggies. Prepare my own food. Struggle less with sugar these days but my guilty pleasure Peeps are on the shelves

Exercise: Stretches, active not hyperactive

Meditation, yoga, etc. Never ... None

Stress: Keep things simple ... None for the most part

Love my work? Always ... It's coming full circle as you know

Work goals: Whatever comes along

Politics: Never went there but follow now. Addicted? I don't think so.

Economy: Not programmed for it

Favorite new apps: You put your finger on each app to see blood pressure, or sugar levels, or cholesterol - all low

Favorite 2016 film: "Hidden Figures"

Something a psychic told me on my 41st birthday in 1984: "You're a teacher now and always will be, but you're going to be famous and do something important that changes the way people think." That sounded strange at the time.


It's always fun to celebrate your birthday on a holiday weekend as getting together with friends and family goes on and on .... To add to the enjoyment this year is warm weather (60s) and the feeling that whatever happens in the next fews weeks, spring is not far behind. I have several teacher friends vacationing in Florida this week for winter break. Enjoy.
