At what point do you cut dies with your youth and admit you're an adult
Never, if you're smart. Growing up remains the single most overrated thing I ever did.
My best advice is not to drink any champagne. If you do during the calendar year you turn 40 its been linked to impotence. I am surprised, given your profession, you were not already aware of this.
If you have any plans whatsoever to consume any then let me know and I will gladly take it off your hands.
I've just about decided that I'm going to take a long weekend in Florida and go hog hunting and do some fishing for my 40th. Sans kids. Maybe even sans wife. I should think about filling her in on my plans.
Having met your lovely spouse I believe you should share this with her.....
You all are old.
Seen quite a few coworkers/associates turn 40 and buy a Harley, or get one when they retire.
Some go down hard too. Then they're gimped in their golden years.
Stay the hell off the bikes.
So this October I'll turn 40, God willing.
GANDALF: End? No, the journey doesn't end here. Death is just another path, one that we all must take. The grey rain-curtain of this world rolls back, and all turns to silver glass, and then you see it.
PIPPIN: What? Gandalf? See what?
GANDALF: White shores, and beyond, a far green country under a swift sunrise.
PIPPIN: Well, that isn't so bad.
GANDALF: No. No, it isn't.”
