40
Ok, I'm now 40 (last Sunday). It was a great birthday. No wonky "over the hill" crap. Just folks showing up and saying "Hi" which was awesome!

Move-Canceled

RIP:2009
I have to admit, while 2009 sucked for a lot of people, it was great for me. On a professional level I've really taken off. A couple years ago, when folks started speaking of the dreaded "recession" in the US I told people that it'll be a time for freelancers to really shine ( Read more... ) -
