Wednesday was my 80th Birthday!

80 is a nice (yes nice) round number which I have been mulling daily throughout my 80th year.  
Rather than be daunted by it, I am proud of it and hear myself proclaiming my age often.  Why not?

It is what it is.  A number. A mile marker (thank you Erin McKenna and Guy deBoer for the annual ride) along my life journey. 

Who knows what’s ahead?

Come what may, my body is my hobby and I’m up and running (mind and body) with helpful boosts from Pilates (Molly Ross and Suzanne Viverito), massage (Jill McFadden and Ellen Reinhold), Personal Training (Monika Vandenboom and Sue Grahek), Juice Plus+ (Shelley Simpson), healthcare (Harvey Pollak, David Wertheim, Leslie Goldberg), my law partners (Nancy Schess, Joan Rothermel, Jane Jacobs), Charcoal, Elvis, Gotham City Networking, North of 25A Book Group, the support of friends and enriching Family
and, especially, the love and care from my Life Mate Joanne (pictured) for the long haul challenge ahead!!!

To be continued…

You look fabulous Fred! Happy 80th Birthday!!! We can learn much from your 'body hobby' as we age. Many blessings to you and your family :)

Thank you for noting key phrase “my body is my hobby”

I've been a long-time fan of several (football, baseball, basketball, tennis), but my interest waxes and wanes. Jerry Rice was magical, so enjoy his # this year.

Birthdays are just numbers, it comes down to how you feel.
MANY, MANY MORE.

I am grateful for your leadership, sense of humor, intelligence, and caring. Happy Birthday, Fred! Keep on keeping on!
