I was born on March 8th 1969. I’ve always thought that anyone who was born after men walked on the moon is still pretty young, so I guess I do just barely qualify as “old” … lol, especially if you were to ask my teenage kids. ![]()
Forty-one is actually a pretty interesting age …
The great majority of the time, my mind still thinks I’m 22 or 23.
But then …
My body (usually the knees or back) jumps up and smacks me in the head, with the all too painful reminder that I’m way closer to 50!
In just a couple of months, I’m going to be a dad again … for the 7th time if you count my step-kids Johnathan and Jasmine (which I do). I suppose it should probably freak me out or something … but it doesn’t.
I do feel kind of sorry for my two youngest daughters in one way though. I can almost hear their future junior high school friends now …
“Oh, that’s so sweet that your grandpa picks you up from school”
It’s all good though. Maybe by then I will have figured out what I want to be when I grow up.
Seriously, I joined the Air Force when I was 20, and they gave me a choice of jobs, but I didn’t really know I wanted to be a weather forecaster. Now I’m going to retire from the military in a couple of years, and I really do have to decide what I’m going to do. In a way that’s more scary than having another baby.
Maybe I’ll just decide I don’t wanna grow up.
… I did marry someone who is fascinated with Tinkerbell.
That must be some sort of a clue.
I’m sure I’ll have it bit more figured out by this time next year. ![]()

p.s. the picture has nothing to do with this post, but I like taking shots of birds, and this was my picture of the day for project365.














41, Oh, my… that is not old. 51 and counting. And I was told by my kids that I was ancient at 41. I guess it is all how you feel inside.
Happy Birthday.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!
And no, you’re not old.

Todd, Belated Happy Birthday!
And don’t worry about being old. I was a year out of high school and getting ready for college by the time you were born.
My son-in-law is older than you and has a two year old. I was 41 when I became a Grandma.
I still do not know what I want to be when I grow up. Maybe I’m Peter Pan and I’ll never grow up. I have way to many things to learn and do yet. Especially “How To Make Money Online”! HAHA!!!!
