Turned 40 today.

I have to admit, it was not as bad as I thought it would be - mostly for the fact that I finally believe what (older) people tell you - you are as old as you feel. Of course if you ask my wife or teenager, they may say that would make me around 6.

I am making the most of my 40th year as possible - learning a new language, river rafting, traveling to the Arizona desert to go through a Covert Ops training, and getting on my bike July 29th for a 7,000 mile motorcycle trip across the country. Although I try to always enjoy life along the way (I fully believe in the “life’s too short” quote) a milestone certainly helps get you in gear.

For those of you under 40 (or 30 for that matter), the best advice I can give you is don’t wait. As Dave Mathews says, “the future is no place to place your better days.”

I can’t wait until 50! - well, maybe a can wait a little while…
