Ticking Away

I have always heard that age is just a number, each year being just another dot on the timeline of life. I guess that's true, but once you turn a certain age, those years seem to arrive with increased frequency. I know, I know, that's really not possible and every year hast the same number of days +/- 1, but once you are above the age of let's say......35, a strange phenomenon starts occurring. Days start passing like hours, weeks like days, months like weeks, and years are gone in a flash. You have no choice but to surrender to the power of the Aging Vortex. I like to call it Time's Nasty Little Secret.

Well, time's nasty little secret caught up with me again yesterday, as I "celebrated" my 43rd birthday. Man, where did 2008 go? How could it already be my birthday? Do I feel a year older? Do I look a year older? (Don't answer that) I mean really, it feels like I just blew out the candles on last year's "celebration" just the other day.

I made the most of the "festive" occasion, and "celebrated" most of the day with Lori and the boys, Cricket, and Nana. I of course made out like a bandit, and as always I got way more than I deserved. I feasted like a King, and had plenty of royal entertainment with court jesters' Aidan and Christopher there to make me smile. We topped off a wonderful BBQ dinner with my birthday cupcakes. Ohhhh boooyyyyy they were fancy and delicious! Here is a photo of the cupcakes before they met their destiny.


Yummy!

Thanks everyone for making another birthday very special, and keeping me eternally young.
