Well, barring some unforeseen circumstances this weekend, it is actually going to happen. Papa Steve is going to hit 50 on Monday. A lot has happened in this last half-century. On the day I was born JFK was elected the 35th President in a close election defeating then-VP Richard Nixon. Since then we have seen the civil rights movement, the race to space, the Cuban missile crisis, the decline of communism, and the invention of the internet by Al Gore. That pretty much sums up the last 5 decades I think.
