30-something

I have one hour remaining of my 20s and I’m oddly at peace with the whole thing. I think it’s the fact that I actually have a good job now with 30-something things like a 401K and dental that has taken my mind off my impending mortality. Maybe it’s just the sheer elation I STILL feel over knowing I never have to return to that horrible newspaper (Yes, it really was that bad).
But since it is almost my birthday and it’s kind of last minute notice, I would like to announce that I will gladly accept presents for the entire week. No pressure or anything.
until the NFL Draft!
The same thing happened to me. Thirty was a big fizzle, but then thirty-one came along and Whammo!, everything I looked at was a stark reminder of my mortality.
30 was a funeral. The end of something. 30 was so ominous. 31 was awesome. I am not looking forward to 40 though.
