Turning 41 is not so bad!

This week I turned 41 years old!

I really think that age is indeed just a number, and that anyone can be “forever young” or “feel old” – and that it’s a choice as to which one of those you feel! Today, when I stopped into my bank to make a deposit, the teller said, “Oh! By the way, Happy Birthday!”

After a second or two of wondering how my birthday information just automatically appeared on her computer screen, I asked her, “Now you get to guess my age without looking at your computer screen!”

She pondered a bit and said, “Hmm… 29?”

“You can look at your screen now!”

She looked back in disbelief but then said, “Good for you! I’m only a year older than you!”

I did come to the bank by bike, and was wearing my bike helmet, so that could account for the bad age-guessing. And speaking of bikes, when I *was* 29, I don’t think I ever would have imagined going car-free and using a bicycle for transportation around town at 30, let alone 40 or 41!

I *will* live to be 100! That’s my goal! Hopefully I’ll be a nice 75-looking guy by then!

May you all stay forever young!
