Got My Kicks at Age 66

What an exhausting and rewarding day! Used my senior citizen half-price pass for the first time on the bus and subway to the Javits Center, where I met up with coworkers helping out with the Special Olympics New York's Winter Games. So much of it was hurry-up-and-wait, but the bits where we actually interacted with athletes were very rewarding. Still, it was enough after 3-1/2 hours and I made my way back to Bryant Park, where I'd hoped to stroll around the Shoppes. But every single person in existence seemed to have the same idea, and even masked up I didn't feel safe in that impenetrable crowd, so I made it back home by around 2:30 and rested until we went out to an early dinner time at our local sushi place. And so many folks wished me a happy birthday online, it was gratifying. Much thanks to you all!

A very happy 66 to you Elayne. We may not see eye to eye but that does not mean I don’t wish you well. I hope the year ahead is a wonderful one full of nothing but happiness, success and joy!
