My Birthday

I wasn't planning on mentioning my birthday. The Girlfriend had other ideas. I completely forgot that she had access to my blog! Everybody reaches a milestone birthday (it's different for each person) where they stop paying attention to the march of time. For me, it was my 30th. I don't know why, but that was a depressing birthday. After that, I really haven't paid that much attention. Often, when somebody asks me how old I am, I have to stop and think about it. For the last couple of years, Flat has made a much bigger deal out of April 1st than I would. It's been a refreshing change of pace.

Most of the time, I don't feel 39. Occasionally, I feel a new creak in the bones or my body betrays me when I'm trying to do something semi athletic. I don't really think like someone my age and I certainly don't act like it. Forty doesn't scare me, fifty is to far away to think about. Time just keeps marching on. Thanks everyone for the birthday wishes. Hope to see you next year.
