The first week of the year

I turned 49 last week. 1957 was the peak year of the baby boom, and I was born smack dab in the middle of it. So even though the boom lasted form 1946 to 1964, those of us (and there are plenty) born in 1957 are the most typical of our generation.

I am turning 50 on my next birthday. I will be monitoring and commenting upon my Year of Turning Fifty.

I don’t think that it will be that significant of a year, but you never know what will happen until you get started.

The year started auspiciously. I stayed home for my birthday, and my sweet wife and I cooked. We cooked a nice Cream of Tomato soup, and an old Haitian recipe I have for Banana Stuffed Chicken. We shared a bottle of champagne, and a wine Burgundy (a Puligny Montrachet)

Here we go…
