It appears as though I will be doing monthly entries as opposed to others who are able to do daily entries. I would have liked to be able to enter a update every day but I find myself unable or just unwilling to sit down and commit the time. 

Today is my older brothers thirty-third birthday.  For some reason this year I am feeling older than I have before.  Not physically but prospectively.  I realize that my children will always see me was being 'old'.  Most of the people I work with are over forty or almost forty.  A handful are still in their mid twenties.  I find myself not caring about what I drive, how I look to others (except my wife), and what people think about me personally.

I hope this lasts and I can avoid the mid-life crisis and don't have to waist money on a corvette or a boat.  Though if I could purchase a 1985, 2.2 liter, Plymouth Turismo, gold in color, I might just have to buy it.  That was my first vehicle.  License plate "WILD-FOX".  On reflection it is the plate that probably got me most of my speeding tickets. 

I see the mid-life crisis popping up all around me.  Even with the current gas prices some at my work are buying new full sized pick up trucks.  I try not to assume anything and give them the benefit of the doubt.  So I ask what they use the truck for.  Only one was able to tell me it was for actual regular towing / hauling of stuff.  The rest of them give me some (in my opinion) lame excuse of "maybe some day I will have to help someone move"  or the classic "Stuff."

The bottom line is I see myself getting older and I think I'm okay with it.  So if you happen to be reading later on and find out I just purchased a full sized truck, please, ask me why.
