Thirty
by Steve
Please excuse the indulgence (although hey, it’s my blog and I’ll indulge if I want to), but today is my thirtieth birthday.
The old cliché that time speeds up as you get older seems increasingly true, as does the suggestion that you remain about 16 in your head all your life. Still, I think over the next few decades I’ll grow quite nicely into an old man. I certainly look forward to getting more and more curmudgeonly as I get older.
I’m told your 30s are your best years, and I’ve certainly got a lot to look forward to – personally and professionally. But I think the big 3-0 is going to take some getting used to…luckily I had the foresight to book today off work to enjoy the day and settle into my next decade!
Just wishing you a happy birthday! Thanks for visiting my blog yesterday and good luck in the blogging world. Have a good year, Kathy

Here’s wishing you a belated happy birthday.
I turned thirty nearly two years ago and I still haven’t figured out how to stop thinking of myself as about 14 (rather than 16). For the most part though I found the transition fairly uneventful. That being said turning thirty made me acutely aware of the fact that so many of the sports stars I love to watch and read about are younger than I am. I’m not sure when or how that happened, but I refuse to admit I’m unlikely to ever play shortstop for the St Louis Cardinals in game 7 of the World Series.
Instead I just try to avoid learning athletes’ ages.
I hope it was a good one.

How do you think I feel? Managers and general managers are younger than I am!
