#18 - Playing With Balls

"Tumble Bubbles"

When I was 6, I was happily entertained with any kind of ball. I was always eager to bounce an Indian rubber ball, a 4-square ball, a beach ball, or a jacks ball. I never thought about the idea of climbing inside a ball.

This morning, I gave it a try. I paid $10. to climb inside this "Tumble Bubble" on Maggie Pond, in Breckenridge. It was quite a trick getting my 60-year old self to stand and then run like a hamster. I managed to do a couple somersaults... without throwing up. I'm pretty sure I didn't last a full 10 minutes, before I pooped myself out. I will be sore for sure... especially my stomach muscles, from laughing!

Sixty
Celebrations

It's April 9, 2017. I'm celebrating my 60th by removing the zero from my age.

Party
Like A Six-Year-Old

I plan to spend this year pondering the good things I remember about my world, when I was 6. I remember those 12 months well, because my family moved from Iowa to NYC for just one year. My memories of 1963-64 are vivid ones.

My Plan

I'll celebrate this milestone birthday for 12 months. I'm going to conjure up the early 1960's and have 60 mini celebrations... in the spirit of my 6 year old self!
