Mile Marker 65

Posted by on August 28, 2012

On the road of life, there are certain birthdays that are particularly symbolic. These are some of life’s special milestones:

  • At 7, your First Communion if you are Christian.
  • At 13, your Bar Mitzvah of Bat Mitzvah if you are Jewish
  • At 16, your mom or dad don’t have to chauffeur you around anymore
  • At 18, you get to serve your country and vote
  • At 21, now you can drink (legally)
  • At 30, you are presumably an adult
  • At 40, you either know where you’re going —or worry if you don’t
  • At 50, AARP membership mysteriously arrives at your mailbox
  • At 65, the government starts picking up your tab!


August 25, 2012 and Manny has arrived at Mile Marker 65. Spending it in Niagara Falls seemed perfect. For decades it’s been a place to celebrate milestones, where many people start their lives together, where a few walk a tightrope, and others go over in a barrel.

And some —like us— spend it awash in good clean fun…
