Hit the big 42 today!

Turned 42 today, another year older and not deeper in debt!
Have made a decision not to grow up and start acting my age. I will still continue to do the things I love and not slow down one bit as other people suggest. I will not stop enjoying my so called "dangerous" hobbies, and go play golf instead. It is not time for me to reevaluate my priorities and settle down in my easy chair. I will age at my own rate as i see fit.

That is all...

Age is the price we pay for Wisdom...

It's not how old you are, it's how old you feel.

Happy Birthday!

Vinman, happy birthday. Glad I got to meet you a couple of months ago, before you got so old.

Birthdays are like jobs, sucks having one, but its worse if you don't.

Happy 42nd Birthday and many more to come.

One of the many good things about moving into the 40's is that we begin to see patterns and life becomes less of a mystery. That's a good thing if you're a comfort seeker like me. And speaking of wisdom, here's a quote about that:

Experience is what you gain when you read the fine print.
Wisdom is what you gain if you don't.

Don't worry, your body will make you do some of those changes in about 10 years, give or take.

Don't ask me how I know this.

Happy B'day.

Let me add my congratulations. You have me by about 8 months. Every year has gotten better. Hope you feel the same.
