Yup, it’s the big Four Oh for me today. 14,610 days I have spent on this spinning ball of mud and so far, not one of them has been spent listening to “Call Me Maybe”. At this point I’m calling that a win. From now on, every morning where I wake up not looking at the underside of a casket lid is a bonus!
However, you’re not off the hook. I still want a birthday gift from you. Do something nice for a complete stranger. Pay for someone else’s meal. Leave a huge tip. Give the homeless looking hitchhiker with the axe a ride to wherever he needs. It doesn’t even have to cost money, just spend a little of your time today doing something for someone else as my birthday gift.
Now if you’ll excuse me, I am now required by law to stand out by my front door and yell at the kids.

Happy birthday. And I'll see if I can't shake a little bit of kindness out to a stranger today in your honor.
Better for everyone, really.
Heh. My son will be 4oh in February; you ain't old enough to 'front-yard' cranky yet...
One of your readers here, a new student of mine, has gifted a custom training blade to another student (who due to car issues could not afford it quite yet). This was his gift to another he does not even know yet in honor of your Birthday.
Have a good one!

Now, turning 40 DOES NOT allow you chase the Kids off the lawn. You can't do that until the AARP sends you "Join Now! letters 3 times a week.
However, you should take advantage of the "Just for Men" Value Packs at Sam's Club.
Yet.
But the day is young, and I had to come in to work at OMG-3-comes-twice-a-day.
