To Hawaii. He's never owned a boat in his life.

If it was anyone else, I'd probably scoff, but in his lifetime Bob has raised a great family of high achievers, worked more overtime than anyone I ever knew, grown a huge vegetable garden every year that I've known him, he surfs (currently teaching two grandkids the art of getting salty), he's a real-deal master falconer raising and selling birds from eggs, recently took up learning Spanish, plays a decent guitar (he even built one from a slab his dad had)....and who knows what else.

This note could have been written by him, because 100 is just a number to this guy.

So to the person who knows what they want when they're 100, I say carry on and enjoy your wonderful life, you cracking human!!!
