38

Most of the four of you who read this page have already conveyed Birthday Wishes. Anyways, "Happy Birthday to me . . . " 38 is one of those middling years with no numerical significance. I have always considered that there are certain "age milestones" that stand out:

  • 12: Biblical ‘Age of Accountability;" no longer eligible for "child’s menu."
  • 13: Beginning of teen years
  • 16: Drive a car.
  • 18: You can vote, go to war (but not drink)
  • 21: See above. You can buy beer!
  • 33: Age of Christ at crucifixion
  • 38: Putter aimlessly on blog. Re-evaluate NFL career.
  • 40: Get depressing birthday cards. Buy Corvette.
  • 55: AARP discount!
  • 60: Actually use AARP discount
  • 65: Traditional retirement age (fat chance!)
  • 70: Septuagenarianism

So there you have it. I’m looking forward to my Corvette.

    Happy B-day Jack! I particularly thought 27 was a milestone. If nothing else than the fact that people actually want you to start taking responsibility for your actions . . . It’s absurd but apparently it happens.
