ANOTHER DAY, ANOTHER 525,600 MINUTES

Today your favorite (fill-in-the-blank) turns another year older.  When someone asks my age I tell them “I’m old enough to know the difference between right and wrong and still young to act with occasional wildness abandonment.”

I do find that as I get older, I find myself keeping a more even temper about things.  I’ve adopted the rule that for every moment of joy, rapture and divinity the universe gives you, there has to be an equally excruciating moment of pain.  It’s like a great night of wine, women, cigars and songs followed by a really bad hangover the next day.

I will admit to every once in a while throwing a grenade or two to stir things up, but that’s only when things have gotten too quiet around here. 

I consider myself a very fortunate individual.  I’m doing what I love and getting paid for it.  I have a great family, an awesome circle of friends and a woman who can see past all the bravo and bluster, see me for who I really am,  and still likes me anyway.  She should be nominated for sainthood.

I’m taking the rest of the day off and will post again on Tuesday.  Enjoy your Memorial Day weekend and take a second to remember what this day is really about; the men and women who laid down their lives for this nation, so we could enjoy the freedoms that we have.
