Turning Forty

Tomorrow, I turn forty years old.  The attached picture is of me at six weeks old in 1969.  In some ways, it is hard to believe that I am now “middle age” (or is it true that “forty is the new 30″?).  I do not feel twenty anymore, but I do not feel over the hill either.  While it is hard to say where I might be in five or ten years, I can honestly say that I am happy with where I am and where I have been in my forty years.  It will be interesting seeing what comes next….

On Saturday, we had 70+ people (including around 30 kids) at my place to celebrate my birthday.  I think that we set a record for number of people at one of my parties!  Who knew that I had that many friends?  Thanks to everyone who came, especially my girlfriend who helped out tremendously.  I am truly feeling blessed.
