To Alloy's esteemed hostess, happy birthday from the desert! Here's sending some warmth your way. Not to be a downer, because to me this is an upbeat sentiment, but I can't say goodbye to 2007 fast enough. How about you? Here's to a much better year upcoming! And thanks to Alloyites for enduring our little ritual every November 1, in charming fashion. Any suggestions for kicking the "I'm 40 Now" blues? Love, Elaine (the other Pirate Twin) ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 1 Nov 2007 16:11:25 -0400 From: Merujo Subject: Re: Alloy: Happy birthday, Melissa!

Lots of it. ;) Just kidding. I hear these are supposed to be the "fabulous 40s." I'm still waiting. HA. I worked from home today to rest the cranky back, but just found out that one of my sisters sent cut flowers to me at my office, so I still have to haul my carcass to downtown DC this evening, otherwise they'll be dead by Monday... Dolby content: I woke up this morning to the clock radio and some guy screaming, "I'm blinded! Blinded by science! Waaaaaaaaghhhhhhlllll." I laughed - loudly enough to annoy the neighbors upstairs.

I dunno - the 40s just don't hurt that much if you ask me. I'm a happy dad, I work for myself (rarely wearing shoes, mind you,) and making a lot more money than I did in my 30s. I don't feel like I can run up mountainsides any more, but I never really could so it doesn't matter much! Chin up, E! And oh yeah - what Merujo said - alcohol - lots of it indeed.
