Hangin' On to the Edge of Forever

Today is my 39th birthday, and man do I feel like I'm hangin' on to the edge of forever. Sometimes, I wonder how I've made it this far with all the crazy whacked-out shit I've done.

I still get carded for entrance into the casino, for liquor and for the occasional pack of cloves. I don't think I quite look my age, but still, I don't want to get older, dammit!

I really, really don't want to turn, much less think about, the big 4-0.

I have a whole year to think about this, but ladies, any advice? Thoughts. Wishes. Stories to share. Virtual cake and alkeehol. Hot nakey boys.

Happy Birthday and more power to you.

I don't know yet what the transition from 39-40 will be like. I recall my transition from 29-30, with my 29th year being one full of self-doubt and fear followed by a sense of certainty and empowerment that settled on me after 30. I felt, for some reason, like switching that 2 in my age to a 3 gave me more consequence and a recognition of accomplishment.

Here's hoping that the transition from 39-40 is equally positive for you.

Thanks, Penn! Whoot! Power to us both :-)
