As my 55th journey around the sun is coming to a close, I am finding that I am liking myself more and getting more enjoyment from life.
Anyway here is my self-serving look at my 55th year on earth (and some of you will say that someone has way too many hoodies) and I am so looking forward to my 56th journey around the sun:
And I had some fun with team mascots (Got to keep it goofy);
 |
| Go Modesto Nuts |
 |
| With the Oakland Ballers -Rally the Possum |
 |
| I am going to so miss Stomper(The Oakland A's mascot) |
I got to meet some celebrities:
 |
| Pawn Stars Book Expert Rebecca Romney |
 |
| Former Oakland A's Outfielder Coco Crisp |
 |
| Former Oakland A's pitcher Grant Balfour |
 |
| Kevin from the Kevin & Caruso Magic Show |
 |
| NASCAR Xfinity Driver Austin Hill |
 |
| With Bluegrass artists Vivan and Riley |
Year 55 was amazing as I saw a lot of cool music (Both local bands and national artists), saw a lot of cool art, got to go to a lot of different places and basically really started to do the things that make me happy. Living life instead of just existing. Hoping that my 56th journey around the sun is just as cool:

#1 Happy birthday! #2 I heard that, with their move to Sacramento, they're going to get rid of the elephant (and thus Stomper). The elephant was classic, going all the way back to the days of Connie Mack...
ReplyDeleteYes, they did. It is sad.
DeleteI hope 56 is just as wonderful for you! It looks like 55 was a whole lot of fun.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday. It's an odd thing about aging that it takes us so long to get comfortable with ourselves, and a waste we didn't do it sooner. Love the pic with the Troll. I really want to see those (we have some here but a long way away). Thanks for sharing with #Allseasons
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had a lot of great adventures in 55, and all the best for 56.
..Happy Birthday Young fellow! You did some amazing things, I'm most envious that you got to see a Thomas Dambo sculpture!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun post. You're so young too. I remember when I was your age. Enjoy every minute. I know you are.
ReplyDeleteThank you for joining the Wordless Wednesday Blog Hop.
Have a fabulous Wordless Wednesday, Patrick. ☺
Happy Birthday!! Did you get another Hoodie?? When you turn 66 come down to Tulsa (or anywhere else on the road) and get your kicks on Route 66.
ReplyDeleteYes I did.
DeleteHappy Birthday! Here's to another fabulous year!
ReplyDeleteMany happy returns of your special day, and here's to another set of of photos on the 66th, 77th, 88th, 99th, 111th... journeys :-) Thanks for taking part in the "My Sunday Best" meme.
