Today is my birthday and I’m 35 years old. There’s nothing really interesting about today, but I thought I’d post something. Unfortunately it’s a Monday and I have to work, so no day off for me. It’ll be 2012 when my birthday falls on a Saturday again. Hopefully I can hang in until then.

I’m now at that midway point between 30 and 40. When I turned 30 I suddenly felt the urge to be more responsible. It was just a sensation that came over me. I can only imagine how I’ll feel when I hit 40. Will I start reading the newspaper and switch to a fine cognac instead of beer? Who knows what the next five years will bring? If there’s one thing I hope that remains consistent it’s keeping in shape. After 5-6 months of eating better and exercising, I’m in better shape than I’ve been in a very long time. Even after putting on a few pounds over the holidays, I’m still doing OK. Yesterday I tried putting the cold weather running gear that Cindy got me for Christmas into use for the first time. I looked ridiculous but they worked as advertised. However, my usual 3 mile run was more of a 3 mile walk. How embarrassing.

Well, another year under my belt and hopefully many more to come.
