And then we were 40.

Somewhere in between Xmas and New Years is my birthday. It’s always vaguely forgotten because of a combination of holiday fatigue and me not really caring about birthdays. This one is supposed to be a scary one…40…but it doesn’t bother me. I feel 40. And sometimes 8. And occasionally 90. And on terrible, terrible daysContinue reading “And then we were 40.”
