Happy Birthday to me?  Happy Birthday to me!  Happy Birthday to me-eee!  Happy Birthday to me!

Wait.  I'm forty now.  I'm too damn old to be up this late.

Where's my nurse's aid with the warm milk and electric blanket?

Nevermind.  I'll just grab this here walker and hobble off to bed on my own power.

Stupid birthdays.

 

 

 

 

 

[Update:  What's the matter with the time-stamp on this blog.  MY clock says after midnight!  Has it always been one hour behind?]

[Another update:  Bob said some nice stuff]

Hoppy-BarfDay!!! You old fogie! Aw, 40's still young. (It's gotta be, I'll be turning 40 next year, and I refuse to believe I'm old!!)

Oh, and the time stamp? Maybe the Coding God forgot to remind the server to put in for Daylight Savings???

Cat,

Thanks!

About the time stamp, I suppose that could be true. Although he is usually quite good about such things. I guess everyone can miss somthing once in a while. :-)

I CAN'T be this old. I'm still trying to figure out what I want to be when I grow up! I'll let you know how forty goes.

TREES!

WELCOME to 40!

It's really no different than 39, but now people can say to you, "Forty? No way! You don't look 40!"

Or you can say, "Damn, right, I'm 40. And I can still kick your ass!" :-)

40 is fun. Enjoy it. Any big plans?

BTW - Tony and I saw Ian McKellen speak last night at the Guthrie in their Global Voices series. Freaking fantastic!

penguins love to get old. I intend to sit on my upper porch and squirt kids with a super soaker when I get old. Ooh! and farting in the super market!!!
Looking at people like thet are crazy when they ask you to pick things up??? there. But! keep your high kicks, lady. That always freaks the young people out! It's been great to know you all these years (three decades??),l heres to many more!
All the penguin love in the world!

Kaji, Karen and Penguin,

Thanks for the well-wishes.

About getting old. I always thought that when I got old I'd be wiser...but I'm not, I'm just better socialized. I still just want to hit people when they make me mad, and take stuff that I want, and throw a temper-tantrum when I am upset. But I don't. i like the idea of the super-soaker. Maybe I should be sure to tell my kids to put me in whatever assisted-living condo you go to, Penguin. Then we can have wheel-chair races and teach a combination ballet/martial arts class in the Community Room, and spray super-soakers on passing hooligans (old people still say 'hooligans' right?

Today I was doing a stretch, and it triggered a charlie horse in my calf and the arch of my foot. It's never done that before. uhg.

On the other hand, I was beating tha crap out of someone today, and mentioned that I turned forty. She said "Get out! You're ten years older than me!" So I hit her in the head with a round-house.

Heh.
About getting older, all I have to say is that it is better than the alternative! So since the only thing left is to hang on and make the most of it...here I go!

given that our penguin association began in an old folks home, that sounds really appropriate!!!

It is the right of all old people to accuse others of being hooligans! espoecialkly while being one themselves!!!! (I should fix that but I love it way to much!)
