Getting closer
So 40 is coming up on Tuesday, and truthfully the more I think about, the less it bothers me. My friend A has been getting in shape and has lost a LOT of weight ~40lbs, and we talked last night how we’re both in better shape than at 30, and feeling physically, mentally, and emotionally better than last year at the very least.
Plus, the United States all got together and got me the best president – Obama will be inaugurated on my birthday.:) YAY!
Yeah, I moan about being sore, but it’s a good thing because it means I’m still continuing with my regimen. My wife’s boss came in and gave me a hug the other day and thanked me for working out with her husband. Told her it was a mutual guilt thing that kept us both going, she got a kick out of that.
A&B, our dear friends, go out to dinner in the city a bit more than we do and had heard about this place called Buddahkan and took us to it, because I simple love Asian food.
Guys, go. You need to. If you come to NYC for any reason and you like asian food? yeah, this is the place. We had yellow tail sashimi that just about melted in my mouth and lobster/shrimp chow fun. Yes please, I’d like more and more and more:) And they got me this brownie that I’m not sure what was in it – you ever have to close your eyes because something tastes so good? Yup, you get it now.
Yummy yummy yummy. And a beautiful place, and good conversation with good friends. Nicest night out I’ve had in a while. We’re getting ready to go to my brothers place on Long Island for my neices bday family party, and then dinner is for my bday for family. Yep, sushi
IT’S MY BIRTHDAY!!!
Hope this finds you all well, and that your day is going as well as mine

I feel the same way. I turned 42 recently and I feel better than I have most of my life. Being young is fun, but there is so much that you finally figure out by the time you reach your forties.
Glad you enjoyed your dinner. It truly sounds heavenly. Happy early birthday!

My favorite topic — food so good it makes you close your eyes. I bet you moaned in pleasure, too. They kind of go together. Forty is a good age. You’re coming into your power years. And if you’re lucky and you live long enough, you’ll get to reach your wisdom years. So many things to look forward to! Happy Birthday, Matt.
