It’s my birthday, I’ll cry if I want to…
I don’t know why, but there is stangeness in the air today. Yesterday I was four years away from 30, this morning when I woke up I am only three years away from 30. Yikes! Pull out the wrinkle cream, and order me some cholestrol medication. What is it about getting older that bothers people? I am not really bothered by my turning 27, it’s just that in 1095 days I will be 30. My twenties are all but almost over. What shall I do?

Hey, it could be worse. You could be like me (28 in June) and have gray hair shooting out the sides of your head. Solution…shave it all off! (I thought this was a good idea until my wife saw…for some reason we just dont see eye to eye on this one.) But just remember there are solutions for everything, and soon enough we will embrace them all…here are a few examples:
-Denture Cream
-Canes/Walkers
-Ben-Gay
-Depends
-Velcro shoes
-Black Socks (they go with everything)
-Those GIANT sunglasses that fit around regular glasses
-Ability to grumply say “WHAT!” to everybody/everything
Now granted, we are a long ways off from most of these (I hope) but if we are smart enough, we will enjoy the process of getting there over the next 40 years.

Oh! By the way….happy birthday!!!!!!
Thanks Russell!
Happy Birthday! 27??? You’re still just a youngster. I turned 40 this year (yes, I have a walker on order). I have a few more gray hairs, but mostly I feel the same. It is hard to believe that I graduated from high school 22 years ago! Hope you have a GREAT B-Day!
Thanks Jeff!
A walker on order, that depresses me, at least it comes after 30!
