Today is my 41st birthday.
Why is 41 so blah when 40 was fun?
When I was in my 20s, 40 seemed absolutely ancient. A far off rumor. I could not imagine actually being in my 40s. I imagined myself sipping decaf, reviewing my stock portfolio, saying, "Please pass the bran muffins." "Oh yes, dear. Shall we listen to some more Rush Limbaugh?" I imagined I would be a totally different person, when I could imagine it at all.
I never would have guessed I'd still be listening to the Ramones and eating lots of pizza and thinking Rush Limbaugh is the devil incarnate.
At least I'm not shopping for Corvettes. I already did that in my 30s.
Happy Birthday!

Wish I were your age! I remember my 41st birthday--I think I remember. Maybe that was my daughter's 41st birthday that I remember.
Gosh--I wish I were your age so I could still remember things.
Happy B-Day Lovely Lisa

So they say "40 is the new 20" then going with that theory and running with it: 41 must be the new 21, right??! So I lift my wine glass to you and toast "Happy Birthday, you are still young and cool" clink clink

Happy 41st. I get what you're saying...I'll be 42 in a few months and I listen to Dr. Dre and eat...pizza. Drink wine.
I live in Northern CA now, but I'm from Detroit originally (well, Royal Oak and Clarkston and Troy and Pleasant Ridge and Lake Orion. Oh, and there were those East Lansing college years.)
Wave to the big Joe Louis fist for me.

Buon Compliano Bella! Sorry that I missed the salutations, but I was in middle of my move from Italy. I'm back in WA now and look forward to chatting at a normal hour. Happy Birthday once again.
