Dennis: Staying Alive At 55

The speed limit sign is becoming way too familiar to me on this roadway of life. Max speed, we were once federally mandated to abide by, was 55. Sometimes I’ve wondered if my max just might be 55 … for politics, for business, for challenges. Signs seem to be everywhere. Maybe, maybe not. A major road runs through the southwestern part of Idaho. Yep, you guessed it: Hwy 55. maybe they’re just street signs.  Maybe I am just getting warmed up, though mid-way through a person’s “6th decade lap” seems an odd place to gain momentum, I’d suppose. My own “roadway” has been a bit too well worn at times with semi-frequent potholes and some erosion at the edges. Some of the asphalt might be a bit soft in the summertime heat and in the wintertime, my curves may just be scary. yet I keep drivin’ on/ Dennis Mansfield . More here .

Question: How fast are you traveling on the roadway of life, if you could put a mph speed on it? Please explain your answer.
