Is it my birthday?

Already? I had no idea.

Like my dad used to say, it's just another day, except people sometimes like to give you cards and presents. Kind of like Christmas.

How old you ask? I'm 48, which is a milestone in my family, seeing as how mom didn't make it past 47. The old 5-0 is right around the corner. Ed better have a big party planned for that one I tell ya.

He's already on me about his 40th, which is next year. Now THAT should be interesting. Says he wants to go back to Disney World. I've only been once, and that was when Ed took me to Epcot Center about 10 years ago.

I've got a year. I guess I should start talking to his parents ...

Happy Birthday to me!

Yup, 47 today. Woohoo!

But you know what? It's just another day. Don't feel any different today than I did when I was 27. It takes a little longer to recover from my softball maladies, and I still have to work today, but other than that, no big whoop.

But talk to me again in three years and I may have a different perspective.

Ed turned 38 on June 11. It'll be interesting to see how he handles turning 40.
