So tomorrow is my birthday, and I’ve never looked forward to the day less. That has nothing to do with the age and everything to do with the circumstances. Trying to keep myself positive and upbeat, but that’s not easy. I guess, to look on the plus side, at least the horrid, rancid year that was my 41st is over. Maybe 42 will have brighter days ahead.

Well, as we have been taught, 42 is the answer to life, the universe, and everything (thank you goes out to a completely different Mr. Adams), right? So perhaps tomorrow WILL signal the beginning of a better era for you, my friend. That is my birthday hope for you, in any case. Happy birthday in advance, Alex. 🙂
I was going to bring up the special-ness of 42 also! Glad you did!
Hope is really all we have in the face of absurdity.
Perhaps 42 is the answer you have been looking for – glass half full my friend 🙂
My 42nd is just a few days after yours. I’m looking forward to it because of what Floyd mentioned – 42 is the answer to life, the universe, and everything (from Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy). Hang in there! And may 42 be just the ticket for you!
I realize that platitudes are useles but I’m still going to say have courage and please hold on.
Seems to me if you can finish the year vertical and in good health.. then that’s a good year. Can you still get an erection? If so, then you’re still on a roll, pal.
No, actually. MS is taking that from me, too, but thanks for asking.
