Far out, dudes.
A Coyote Looks At 50
Yeppers, 50 years old today. I've outlived a brother, a daughter, and more friends and acquaintances my age or younger than I can remember. Diseases. Accidents. Overdoses. Suicides. Self neglect. I've seen them all more times than I'd like.
But I'm still here. I'm still going. It was pretty rough nine years ago, I was having serious health issues related to an injury. I seriously thought I was going to die.
But I'm still here. I have the most amazing and wonderful wife Leticia and the finest son a father could want Daniel. The two of you have helped me through the worst days of my life and inspired me to be my best.
Thank you to all of my friends and family who helped get me here, and especially my wife and son.
I love you.

Congrats, sir. I'm less than a year away from 60 now.
I wish I could say that life gets easier, but grandkids sure help to smooth out the bumps

Happy birthday! I am 51 and seriously pleased with the results. I get to retire in 5 years and I'm really looking forward to jumping into my business with both feet at that point.

Well done for making this far! Now you can cruise through life without giving a flying f***!  When I hit 50, a couple of years ago, one of my offspring said "Daddy's going to be, like, a hundred years old!" To wit the youngest replied: "Nooooo, he's half way there! Buuu-ut he's livin' on a prayer!". Welcome to the "Coffin Dodgers Club".

Congrats. I'm on the far side of 50 (71) myself, so I understand. Now practice saying "You kids get off my lawn!"
