Good-Bye 30's
Posted in Way Off-Topic
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.

Make sure to pack the Geritol and depends. Once you hit 40 it's all downhill :) Upside - time for a mid-life crisis where you need to buy a Harley or mid-engine convertible :)
