Re: More Good Things
In a little over six and a half hours, I will no longer be 44. Some would ask why this is something to be excited about, but I'll try and elaborate, just a bit...
At an age when a lot of men are starting to exhibit signs of potentially serious health issues, I recently got a clean bill of health from the doctor (after the first visit to a doctor in 25 years). My blood pressure was marginal, but I'd been in full-on 'production mode' while working on a show (which involved me drinking anywhere from 3-6 cans of caffeinated soda daily), and I was also coming down with what proved to be a pretty nasty cold.
If this pattern holds true, I should still have a few years before I actually hit 'mid-life'...my aunt passed away at age 90, I have an uncle who's still alive and a little past that, on my dad's side of the family. On my mom's side, my grandpa was in his late 80's or early 90's when he finally said his final goodbyes to the world.
People I went to high school with are starting to look at slowing down and taking it easy, and I feel like I'm finally getting up to speed. :D Time is being pretty good to me.
