So it’s my Birthday a week tomorrow and I hit 40. Now I don’t know how old you are, but the older I get, the more I feel like, yes, I am running… B-U-T not as fast as I used to 🙂 I guess I ain’t as young as I once was. … A feeling made worse by the fact, that for the last three nights in a row I’ve woken up at 1.37 ...

Truth be told, based on what went down yesterday, I can’t think of a worse day to be going to the big smoke and doing a consulting day. But it couldn’t be rearranged.
