What A Year so far

This has been a year that I hope I will not soon forget ( at my age that is my hope all the time lol). In no particular order of importance.....I graduated college with honors (fulfilling a lifelong dream). I have seen Las Vegas, Grand Canyon, Hoover Dam, and the Grand Ole Opry. I went to Phoenix Arizona and walked across the stage to be recognized for completing my degree (another lifelong dream). I watched my oldest son get married (not sure I would ever see this lol). I watched my wife body surf ( involuntarily...lol). I found out I am going to be a grandpa! Heard I might be called POPS. And I was recently surprised when I was awarded the Vigil Honor in the Order of the Arrow. It seems that almost everyone in the Troop and most of my other scouting friends knew, but I had no idea. I was and am humbled by the award. It is truly a great feeling to recognized by others. I am not sure how a year can be much better, but we still have a few months.. I have been blessed this year for sure. My thanks to all that have been a part of my life and shared in the many experiences that have made me what I am...Is there a pool to guess what happens next? Green neckerchiefs as standard uniform for the billy goats that used to be green bar members? Time will tell....
