midlife

But no more crises than usual. Hell, life is all just one interminably slow crisis.

Anyways: I'm 36 today. Wheee.

Which, since life expectancy of males born in 1970 is around 72 years (note: this may be totally inaccurate), means that it's all downhill from here.

Which suits me fine, downhill's the easy part.

Anyone lend me a sled?
