To those of you turning 40 this year
I know you're out there, and you're thinking about it.
Well, think about this: 49 is staring me in the face. It's giving me the big old hairy eyeball that leaves crows feet wherever it touches and makes my joints crackle when I get out of bed. It reared its ugly head this spring when I took a wrong turn after dark, pulled over, grabbed my Thomas Guide and discovered I could not read a thing by the pathetic glow of the dome light. It presented me with an inconvenient bout of bunion pain right in time for Pennsic just to show it cares. (Ha! I thought. I shall walk you into submission!) Oh, and just for fun, 49 decided to lob a two pound weight gain at me this week for no reason whatsoever.
Screw you, 49. I walked four miles yesterday without breathing hard. Siddown and shaddup until December, when you will be duly commemorated so that my nephews can have cake, and I will quite possibly flip myself the bird in the bathroom mirror just to show I care.
Are you going to let a stupid NUMBER intimidate you? Think about that, my friends.

Yup, like someone else said, it beats being dead. We all just do what we can. :-/
