some have asked

in the past weeks, several people have offered jokingly that perhaps i should let them know what 35 is like, since my birthday was approaching faster than their own.

today, on my first full day home after reaching the midpoint of my 3rd decade, i was carded.

the carder was probably a good bit younger than me (although i now believe EVERYONE is), and kindly showed some surprise when he found my birthdate. the chatty gentleman who stood in line behind me also shook his head in disbelief. it was comical.

karen, betsy, hollis, and probably ryan: so far it ain't so bad.
