I’m not sure that 32 has anything remarkable about it, in terms of an age.  29 was my golden birthday, 30 was a new decade, 31 allowed me to say ‘in my thirties’, 33 is my lucky number, but 32 doesn’t seem to stand out.   Until I had a party with enough people to qualify for the free shoe rental at the bowling alley.  32 is now the year I had the most friends. (The MBA program deserves a lot of gratitude for that!)  Among other things 32 makes me grateful for:

• Bowling a 100+ game
• Green smoothies
• Racquetball
• Running
• learning Portuguese
• business ideas
• the UW Campus
• dreams of getting rich in order to buy the naming rights to a building on the UW campus
• favorite podcasts: Motley Fool, Freakonomics, This American Life, the Moth, Brazilian Podclass
• possibilities
• coffee, served in bed
