Keep Your Dreams Alive!

We see it all the time: folks getting up there in age pursuing lifelong dreams, some wackier than others. Whether it’s Billy Crystal playing baseball in the Major Leagues or that neighbor of yours who surprised everyone by quitting a job to climb Mt. Everest. Being a dreamer keeps you alive in the mind and body, but be sure to go after some of the dreams, rather than letting them remain in your head exclusively.

Jack Moelmann is a 67-year-old retired Air Force colonel with a dream to perform at Radio City Music Hall, specifically on the famous Wurlitzer organ. Looking into the mirror one day, he said, “Jack, you have a dream, go for it.” And so he has, spending a whopping $120,000 to perform August 9th. Tickets will be sold to the event, and if all goes well, they will pay for the costly dream and then some.

Although it sounds like an ambitious idea, and an expensive one at that, there is nothing wrong with fulfilling any kind of lifelong dream.
