Are there many, some, a few of us over 50??

[Bad JuJu]

I have always been baffled by people who fear birthdays. Granted, I am only turning 26 Saturday but I enjoy them. I plan to be someone who embraces 50 with open arms (and still be on my bike).

I feel the same way about people who get all crazy about their birthdays--jeez, what's up with that? Like Annie said, you can either have your next birthday or...not--so I prefer to keep having them.

It makes me a little angry when people imply that I should be hiding my age. I'm 54 and I don't care who knows it.

In spite of the ridiculous cult of eternal youth that this society seems mesmerized by, we CAN embrace our age, still pedaling happily away on our bikes.
