Lordy, Lordy
It's arrived...the day I never thought I'd see. The day I become OLD...
I am officially 40 years old today.
Considering everything that's happened this year, I should be really depressed today, but strangely I'm not. I feel sort of peaceful and resigned, as if I'd just entered the dentist's office for five root canals, but was told I'd be getting some REALLY great drugs for it.
Also, I've been really busy lately, with a conference at work coming up tomorrow and Saturday, The Joans and fun stuff like that. I spent a few days early this week in Peoria helping my aunt and uncle clean out my mom's old storage unit. I came back with a car full of
I also managed to save some of my old vinyl record albums. Anyone have a turntable? I don't...
Oh well, back to work now. More later!

Happy Birthday!
Happy Birthday Aaron! for real this time! Damn gurl you've let yourself go. Ed
Happy Birthday Aaron!
Not only do I have a turntable but it is a wind-up Victrola with a Wurlitzer cabinet. I have records that are over 100 years old and have music on one side only. I'm a relic, what can I say?
Happy Birthday from a fellow "I-Hate-Dirk" hater!
40 ain't so bad......now that I'm on the down-side of 50!
Have a good one!
Thanks Sarah, Ed, Peter, Anon, Catrina, and Vince (and Prancer, Dancer, Donner and Blitzen, too!) :-)
The birthday was a pretty good one! I appreciate all of your good wishes...
I was the second anonymous too. You know when you get our age the memory isn't, hey look a squirrel! When might we see the reappearance of ask Aaron? I read one the other day were this 14 year old girl was hanging around and doing drugs with some 18 and 19 year old guys and the person wanted to know if she should do something about it. I have to go pee that increases with age too. Ed

I'll probably start trawling the advice columns for fresh fodder very soon...just been a little too "downtrodden" this last month or so to properly get my snark on! ;-)
Happy belated birthday.
Turning 40 isn't as bad as it sounds. And as I like to say it's better than the alternative. Of course just wait till things start to fall apart. I got new eye glasses about a week after my 40th and was told I needed bifocals. Ugh.
Many thanks for the greetings, Maddog! Yes, I can hardly wait for the "falling apart" phase. Fortunately for me, that started when I was 35, so I have a head start dealing with it. ;-)
Happy Belated Birthday from the guy who turned 40 two days later. You old fart! Oh wait. I can't say that anymore! ;-)
HA HA!! Wise-ass...;-)
I can report, with a week-old perspective, that the air isn't too bad up here. I'm already REALLY relaxed about things (i.e., the "fuck it" plan)...as my apartment will attest.
Hey Aaron! Sure was fun hanging with you at that 90's rocker chick show! Happy Birthay!
Hey, Brian! It was fun, wasn't it? Let's do it more often! (I enjoyed Donita and am loving the CD, too...)
