Turning Forty-One can be Forty-FUN!

"Finally, I'm 41! I can keep doing adult things!" said no one ever. Still, even as my hair slowly receeds from my scalp and reappears in other...places, as far as birthdays go, this one rocks.

Forget the fact that we're literally camping out in the parking lot of a convenient Wal-Mart, slowly marinating in our own sweat while mosquitoes fly through the open car windows to feast on our blood, this 24-hour supercenter has working toilets, air conditioning, AND free WiFi, no purchase necessary! The soothing tones of the street sweeper as it passes by the car is a pleasing lullaby, the hypnotic flashing light singing us to a morning full of promise. (And, likely, stiff necks.) All of these wonders, plus it's way cheaper than a hotel. They don't put that in the brocure!

Life really is what you make it. And when life gives me sweat, I'll make hot Topher juice. I don't know what that is, and I really don't want to know, but surely some idiot will buy it on eBay. So, please, tell your friends.
