Pirate Looks at 50 [PHOTOS/VIDEO]

As I turn 50 years old today I though it would be cool to change the title of a Jimmy Buffett classic and take a quick look back.

For the most part I'm OK with it but still a lil surprised I made it this far considering I grew up in Boston through the 80's w/ pals like Delly and Benda.

Just a few stops along the way-

The Spelling Bee. Thank you to Artie for hiring me and not firing me when I f'ed up. Instead he would put me in the corner like a 2 year old. If only we had cell phone cameras back then-
