| Is everything supposed to go downhill from here? I had 4 people ask me between yesterday and today, how does it feel to be 40? All I could do is shrug my shoulders "I dunno!" I said. The first two didn't really register, but the last two made me pause. I took into consideration these people were all older than me and started to wonder if they were hinting at something. The fourth one caught me when i was leaving the supermarket, same old question in an annoying tone. "So how does it feel to be forty?" (and they all use the same exact words, as if they're pre-programmed) So this time I turned to look at her 22 year old daughter and said "I dont know, still horny I guess" with an evil grin. She was'nt amused, and maybe I should'nt have said that. But whats the big deal? |

Keep chanting that. I believe, I believe, I believe....
You can convince yourself. My 78 year old father has some
gray but looks to be in his mid sixties. I've a friend who
is two years younger than me at 51 and looks to be in his
late seventies. It's all relative. Some of us time travel
more than others. Myself, when asked, responded like others,
"About the same as yesterday".
Oh, almost forgot, Happy Birthday dmadden. It's all down hill
from here! LOL |

40 is about the time your body starts making its long journey home.
Welcome to the sunny side of the hill. |

Jack has just recently turned 40... In fact he's played golf every day since his retirement a couple of years ago...
Arriving home one day - Jack seems to looking downcast. "That's it," he tells his wife. "I'm giving up golf. Can you believe, my eyesight is in such a state, that once I've hit the ball, I couldn't see a bit where it went, not a bit"
Out of complete desperateness, his wife sympathizes and makes him a cup of tea. Sitting down she says "I am sure you can give it one more try, take my brother with you"
"What good would that be" sighs Jack, "your brother's close to his 90's. He can't help."
"He may be close to his 90's" says the wife, "but his eyesight is perfect."
So the next day Jack and his brother-in-law head off to the golf course. Jack's a bit shaken up cause of the previous day, but confident in his brother-in-law's eyesight. Slowly tees up, breaths slowly and steps forwards. And all mighty swing - drives the ball down the fairway!
He turns to the brother-in-law. "Did you see the ball?"
"Of course Jack" replied the brother-in-law. "I have perfect eyesight".
Jack all excited turns back again and says 'Where did it go?"
(Split second silent) "I don't remember"
Happy 40th. ;-)
