1972

This is my 1,972nd post, which is kind of interesting, since in an hour here it will be officially my birthday, and I was born in 1972. ;) Funny how that worked out!

Of course the weather today took out all our flights, and there is more unpleasant weather tomorrow, which is a bummer, as we were planning on flying over to Muncie for lunch. Oh well.

So here starts my last year in my 30s. I have to admit, I've liked the 30s, but I think I'm going to enjoy the 40s even more. I'm old enough to have some decent experience at a few things, be taken seriously in ways that folks in their 20s just aren't, and old enough to be getting much better at not caring what everyone else thinks about some things relating to me and mine. On the other hand, I'm still young enough to have lots of energy, and enough time for plenty of interesting opportunities yet ahead of me. On the down side, my vision has tanked, I'm having difficulty stopping the "spread", I have gray hairs taking over one spot of my head, and my tooth has chipped for no good reason at all. It seems a little unfair that when you're younger and you have a decent physique you spend most of your time feeling inferior with it, and when you get older and have a less decent physique, you feel more confident with it and yourself. That's life, right? ;) Well, to be fair, I'm also not too old to get back in shape. I just need to spend more time on that again. If only I enjoyed exercise more and food less. ;)
