How time goes by very fast.

Now half a century gone.

There have been a few times close calls but hey today I am still standing.

The untold scandals, the adventures, the good and bad days.

Ahhhh 3650 days and I will be a pensioner.

How all those naughty friends now became the best fathers and mothers.

All secrets forever locked.

All have been memories to be treasured in the future when this body unable to look for new adventures.

Well this just the ramblings of a happy man who despite challenges managed to past half century milestone.

How long more I don’t care.

Whatever remaining days ahead are my bonus.”
