three oh

Although a minor event in geo-political history, today is my thirtith birthday. I write this packed with 30 year old scotch and watching a biography of Paul Lynde, a personal ghost of my youth. Much has changed in my life in these past ten years since my last significant birthday. I no longer work as a dishwasher at a fast food dump; I have a college degree; I'm employed in a field that I enjoy. I meet this birthday fifteen pounds lighter and one co-author credit better than last year. Not so bad, really. Wonder what the next ten years will bring. With luck, it will involve cross-gender coupling and transmission fluids. Vroom. Vroom.


Happy Birthday JJ! :)

This comment puzzled me greatly until I realised that you weren't talking about the film Carousel :)

Of course, in the original Logan's Run book, people were terminated at 21 - and there was no chance for renewal at Carousel.

You are old

Tubbs actually has grey hairs, and he's only ... four I think. Probably all those seizures. Jennifer said she found a grey hair on me. Oh well. I also have a receding hair line, weak knees ... damn, I'm old too!
