We decided to have friends and family over today for the big 40 bash. Enjoyed some great food (steamed crab legs, shrimp, mussels, oysters and all the fixins), great company, and basically ate until we were sick. Ran everyone off and kicked back now. Turned on some Clapton, dug deep into the humidor for a contraband cigar (screw the embargo) and pulled a quart jar of apple pie juice out of the freezer. Now it's time to figure out my battle plan for the next 40 years. Sure hope I dont learn as many hard lessons this half of life as I did the first half.
