today is the last day that i'll be "in my 30's". when i wake up tomorrow, i'll have hit the big four-oh.

i'd like to think i won't be too weirded out by it all, but it's already hitting me a little bit. feeling kinda... dunno really. just weird .

my company gives employees the day off on their birthday, so a three-day weekend will be nice. taking the family camping (our first camping outing). there's a nice campground not too far from here. it's about a 40 minute drive. 20 minutes horizontally, then 20 minutes vertically up a mountain. we drove there a couple of weekends ago to scope out the campsites, and reserved one that overlooks a lake.

should be a fairly serene setting to reflect on being old. i'll be completely "off-the-grid". no computer, no internet, and no cell (i'll have the phone but i'm not expecting any signal). the serenity may not actually start until i finish pitching the tent (which i expect to be wholly comical and probably contain some NSFW language). but the rest of it should be pretty cool.

40. ugh.
