My wife threw me a surprise party. We had a good time. Last year, year 52, I got a new Trek 520. I enjoy riding it long distances. For Christmas Santa left a new Lemond Zurich under the tree. As for the differences from my 21st birthday, lots more candles on the cake which is neatly counter balanced by lots more cash in the bank. My take on getting older is that I'd rather be over the hill than buried under it.
