Default "Crossing Over" with Don Manning...a new show.

No, not a new show really, but it is my birthday.

Now, we all know that when you post in here that it is your birthday, you
are most likely looking for the obligatory "Happy Birthday". Not so the case
this time...mostly. I am not getting Mustang related things this year.
Believe me, I want headers, gears, new front bumper skirt, cobra ground
effects, and a upper/lower intake combo, but I am happy with what I got.

My first vacation. After 4 months of hard friggin' work, I got a 10 day
vacation. Yeah, it helps that I own the company, but it was needed
nonetheless.

My wife and I plus the two oldest kids went to Texas to see my family. It is
the first time I have been down there in 12 years. I have seen everyone of
course, but never went down by myself. We spent last weekend down there and
have been lounging ever since. Tonight we are going out for dinner and some
good old fashioned beer and country music interlaced with some two-steppin'.
We don't get out much having 4 small boys and one on the way (I would love
to get off of the Stork's mailing list). So this will be a nice reprieve. I
love the boys to death, but mommy and daddy need mommy and daddy time.
Although, having 4 kids and one on the way makes it sound like we have had
plenty of mommy and daddy time. As far as the rest of the world knows, my
wife and I have had mommy and daddy time only 5 times in 7 years.

TMI? Maybe, but oh well.

I am happy at 30, knowing that I am another year closer to being in a home
where only my wife and I live! HAHA. My brother was very depressed about
turning 30 but I won't let that happen to me. I have all kinds of ideas in
my head, I can work 20 hours a day still, and I can still keep the women...I
mean womAn happy in bed. That was for my wife's benefit who reads all of my
posts!!! So, I know I am still young, I feel young still, and I definitely
think young. To all those about to get to their 30th, embrace it and keep
living life right. 30 is damn good.

As the urologist said to the nurse, "snip snip and it's time for
lunch."

You call 30 a birthday? 30 ain't s**t. As long as the cake's big
enough to hold all the candles it doesn't even count. My next door
neighbor was out there mowing both our lawns last Sunday (hey Al, you
missed a spot!) and he's 87. He's been RETIRED longer than you've been
alive.

Anyway, happy B-day.

There comes a point in everyone's life where they need to stop thinking
of how old you they and start thinking about how lucky they are to have
lived this long. That's now my attitude on every birthday since I
turned forty over four years ago and notice that every year there's more
people my age that I know personally that never got to live to their
next birthday or have had to deal with a life threatening illness.

I busy now trying to correct the errors of my ways. I can see the
degradation happening much sooner if I don't eat healthier and get more
exercise. I don't plan on using the powered wheel chairs in the Target
stores for several decades to come, God willing.

I have to work twice as hard at 44 to lose weight as I did at 35. Plus
having a job the requires me to sit on my butt every day doesn't help
either.
