I turned 40 yesterday.
Wow. Just yesterday, I felt like I was only 40. Oh, wait, that was my birthday yesterday. Nevermind.
Wow. Just a few days ago, I felt... well... so much younger.
But, enough about me.
Though yesterday was my actual birthday, we ended up observing it on the day before, Friday 12/14. Kind of like how Washington has two birthdays, the real birthday and then the observed version so people can have a three-day weekend. And since I'd taken the day off from work, I had a three-day weekend, just like a presidential birthday, observed. Does that make me like a U.S. President?
That day went well. Slept in... always nice. Later in the morning, I accompanied my wife to our church to assist with preparations for the upcoming children's Christmas program. After that, she and I were supposed to go out to a restaurant for lunch. We stopped at my parents house to, supposedly, pick up some items for the Christmas program. But it turned out she and my parents had planned a surprise birthday party. I was genuinely surprised! And we had one of my favorite meals... lasagna. Mmmm... lasaaaaaagnaaaaaaa...
