Thanks guys.  40 is odd.  My knee started wearing out at 38, so I already lost my feeling of invincibility.

My wife was sweet and threw me a Batman birthday party to make me feel young instead of old.  And then gave me a Happy 90th Birthday card to remind me that I could be alot older.

40 is a time to reassess where I've been and where I'm going.  I haven't done that much up to this point.  Having a great wife and two boys (4 & 1)I would already call where I've been very satisfying.

Oh and someone smashed my XJ-S while it was parked at the airport... and left their number.  That was nice.

You think your feeling on invincibility is fading now? Try 46 on for size :hick: If I squat for maybe 15 minutes to do some work down low (brakes etc.) I can't walk properly for a few days :( Effing knees will have to be replaced within 10 years for sure :( Oh, and did I mention the tendonitis in my right elbow and left shoulder that prevent me from turning a wrench without pain - seemingly for the rest of my life? Anyway, happy birthday - I'm sure this post has cheered you up a lot :D
