2011 - 6 months to the day (and counting)

It's the second day of January and it's exactly 6 months until I hit it - the Big Five Oh. It's true what "they" say - the cliches that is:
"youth is wasted on the young", "if I knew then what I know now", all that stuff my mom told me really is true. But as I stare down 50, one thing I don't want to be is a cliche. So I start out this year pledging to myself the following:

• I will live today like I did when I was in my 30s
  
• I will exercise (in some way, shape or form) three days a week
• I will go to Morocco before I turn 51

and

I will try (really, really hard) not to cry when I turn 50.

Finally, I promise I will do my best to write interesting stuff (almost) every day.
