Don’t Let the Perfect Get In The Way of the Good

It’s a Double Golden year for me

Today is my 56th birthday.  Some think every birthday is special; I think that the mere fact that I was blessed to have experienced this magnificent thing we call life for 56 years is what makes it that.  But for me, this year, special has risen to a whole new level.  I turn 56 today, I was born in 1956…
