Call me slow.

[swestrup]

I've known for some time that my birthday was approaching. Its only two weeks away now. I've noticed its approach since taxlady says I can have pizza on my Birthday, and its the one thing that I really miss while I'm on Atkins.

I've also known in a vague way that I would turn 40 sometime this year. Now, call me slow, but its only just now occurred to me that that will happen on my birthday. In 2 weeks. Hmmm.

I don't really know how I feel about that. I don't feel terrified or upset or anything, but it does seem like a large number. Maybe that means I need to order an extra large pizza?  Yeah, I like that. I think the patented Sti form of a midlife crisis is to get a REALLY BIG pizza, with all the trimmings!

40, eh? About time, youngster.
30 was the biggie - self examination of where you are, where the career is, etc, etc. Plus the first signs of the body slowing down.
40 is not so big - just another birthday, but less of the same that went on when you turned 30. Bonus: You no longer have to try and delude anyone that you are going to 'make it'. It's kinda apparent by this time where you fit in the fabric of society. Of course, the road is not done yet - not by a long shot. Lots of time remains.
Same goes for 50, or so I'm told. ^-^
Happy Birthday, in case I fail to remember on the day itself.
