Thirty Sleeping Dogs

As the last few hours of my thirties creep by, I can say without regret:

Buh - frickin' - bye!

The years between 30 and 39 have been both amazing and yucky. I put 15,000+ miles on my bike, saw Alaska and Montana and Iowa via two wheels, I met an amazing woman (who moved in with me), and I have met some of the most influential people in my life.

But, I also went through 4 different jobs, lost a couple of the most amazing men in my life and oh yeah, had a bout of cancer.

I'm not going to dwell on all that has been. I am grossly a "glass half full guy", and every day is my future, and I see moments of brilliance and occurrences of something amazing happening every day.

Bring on 40. I'm ready for anything...

And ready to make awesome things happen.

Let sleeping dogs lie and let the thirties go by
I'm not gonna miss them.
