so today i celebrate my 29th birthday. i rolled out of bed with sore legs, and i haven't even done anything.
my thoughtful wife woke me up this morning at 3:55 am, completely destroying my idea that i would get the chance to sleep in on my birthday, since i am taking the day off. it really wasn't that bad, though. she took me to the nearest doughnut shop and then ate in the car at white rock lake. it's all good because we then came back home and went back to bed.
my intentions were to get back on my bike today and ride around the lake. it is 11:53 am as of this writing and so far i have accomplished little towards that end, as i just finished the rest of my doughnuts and have now started working on a package of Peanut Butter M&M's. i am working on my resume and totalling up my logbook, so today may not be a total loss.
so, i have one more year to be young, cause when i hit 30, i will officially be an old man. by that time i am supposed to be older, wiser and full of insight. i have a lot to gain in one year. i know the meaning of life, i have a fulfilled relationship with my wife, family and friends. i have a great house and a great dog. age 30 will mean that i only have 30 more years before i have to retire as a pilot...that will be a sad day, but i am kind of already looking forward to retirement, although social security will be non-existent by that time.
so, thanks to all who remembered it was my birthday today. so far it has been a great day...
