Happy Birthday to Me, Happy Birthday to Me!



Hey fishwrap enthusiasts! It's my 37th birthday today, and to celebrate it, I'm sitting and typing in my bathrobe. Har!

Yes, 37. A "standing in line" birthday number if ever there was one.

One of those nebulous ages where, on the prow of the good ship YOU, reports of Fortyland being sighted are still vague rumors, but ones that are picking up strength on the lower decks. And the devil-may-care Thirtytown Port is ages past. 37 is the year where the tilt of the ocean and the salt tang of the sea start to wear on you. The point where the Captain has to assess the fuel situation, the strength of the wind, and any dangerous cross-currents that could wreck the unaware steersman. A lull could prove a crushing blow.

Where were any of you at 37, campers? What were any milestones, major events, losses you faced in that flat wheat field between 30 and 40? Maybe today would be a good day for my 100 Things About Me list that flashed through the 'sphere awhile back. Then again, maybe not. I'm not keen on it to begin with.
