it's MY day!

I'm in the last few minutes of being 40. Then it is 41. Really not all that different. By-the-way, what ever idiot said "40 is the new 20" is a fool. I'm pretty damn sure I didn't have these aches and pains at 20. My hair wasn't grey and my feet didn't hurt. I'm also pretty sure the second ass that has been following me these last few years wasn't there either! God help me, I sure hope 41 is the new 20!

Happy Birthday, Gayle.
I wasn't even a father at 40 - then we had five. Always was a late starter.
The rot set in at sixty.

If 40 isn't the new 20 does that mean that 50 isn't the new 30? Happy Birthday!
