Good list. And knowing your competitive spirit, you'll try to top it this coming year!

Thank you for the very much that you contributed to make the list possible!!!
Daniel Schwartz

Great list. Keep on doing what you do and there will be many more positives.

Good list ... #8 especially. #9 a curiosity and I don't think they are connected but maybe, #2 would be #1 for me but I don't think this list is prioritized but maybe, #20 is a given.

Living past average life expectancy, staying active and certainly remaining relevant in so many ways are huge accomplishments for any human being. As we say in Grateful Dead language, Keep on Truckin !!

3 Ball Club should be on it. Sorry!
