Wandering the Desert for...

[eggwards]

So we're now 40 days away from my 40th birthday. Already this year i've been feeling the pull of this big, biblical number. Since we're now so close to the actual event, I'm tagging my next few posts with the above banner. It's also an encouragement to me to actually blog something for the next 40 days. Sometimes it may have something to do with the upcoming birthday, sometimes it won't. Just like anything else in my blog, it's terribly inconsistent.

While I think of myself as old already in many respects, really I've lived through some interesting times, but not necessarily everything. As most of us, I was born after the Big Bang, and will likely die before the Apocalypse. Everything else is just details.

Do to kick off this 40 day countdown to the big day, here's a little list for things I'm younger than vs similar things that I'm older than. Certainly there's a bigger list, but it's just something to get us started here.

On with the show, we only have a few days left now.

Thank You Michael. I've got something that I'm thinking of, i'm just trying to work on logistics right now. I'll let you know.

Otherwise, I'm glad you're taking care of yourself, with the blood sugar and all! Fewer doughnuts for all of us.
