Maybe I'm Amazed — At Turning 50...

Linda McCartney would have turned 70 today. Paul McCartney wrote "Maybe I'm Amazed" for her, so here you go. I just turned 50. So, perhaps this might be a nice musical break. I feel good. I walked yesterday for a couple of hours. Cleared my head and saw parts of the neighborhood I hadn't seen before. I'm going to try to make that a habit. I used to walk just about every day. Blogging replaced some of that time. I've been getting some of it back lately, spending less time online. Anyway, thanks for the readership and friendship. More later today:

    Happy Birthday Donald!

    I am right behind you in October turning a young 47 and trying to change some things in my life before that day arrives.

    You will find 50 is a better age than most believe.

    Enjoy it!

    PS I have to turn off Javascript for your site, it's that slow (with IE, Safari, or Chrome). You might want your tech guy to take a look.

    Thanks for the wishes.

    And on the loading, I use Chrome since it loads fine. Sometimes it takes a few seconds. Just tried Safari, and some of the sidebar wouldn't load. Said plugs were missing. Then tried IE and it took a long time to load. I'll ask around. I always think it's my system that's jammed up, but perhaps I have too many videos and what not, which slows it down. Thanks.

    I've noticed the more videos embedded on a page, rather than linked, can slow it down - largely because the players have to be loaded.

    But, yes, ask around. I don't doubt your system has a lot going on at any given time.
