Rewarding myself for not Dying at 66

I knew I needed to do something for myself as a reward for not dying this last month. So, as my 67th birthday approached I thought about what might help me long term in celebrating this victory. So, I invited my wife and her friend and daughter to go to a Moody Blues Concert on April 24th in Portland (I hadn't seen them in person since 1974 in San Diego when I lived there with my first wife and soon to be born son when I was 26. I also rented myself a beautiful muscle car for one week which was a 2015 Camaro that was metallic Red with a black convertible roof. Even though the only legal way to fully experience it's power was on a freeway onramp (20 to 70 in one second) it was great fun to drive something like this again. (I had owned a 1968 Camaro that I bought new in 1968 when I was 20 that I had driven 145 miles per hour and that also could go from 20 to 70 in one second too back then). So, this was great fun to do this once again too.

These two things really catapulted me into a much better consciousness and made me feel very alive once again. So, this was really useful to me in the long run as a direct result.
