44

Today I’m celebrating my birthday by having cake and opening presents.
Er, no, that’s what I’m not doing today. Rather, I’m doing what I do every Wednesday: getting groused at by customers with broken networks, and fixing said networks. I might, however, treat myself by cooking a nice dinner when I get home sometime after midnight.
Some pretty smart guy whose name I cannot recall once said that there is an age beyond which one’s birthday should cease to be a big deal, and that age is twelve.
I’d make exceptions, though, for 16, 18, 21, and any birthday after 72.
Happy Birthday!!
Welcome to the 44 club. I must say that after being 44 for 10 days, I don’t feel much different than I did at 43…or 40 for that matter.
I am also sure that will change someday.
