Today is my first day in the 40’s.  I’ve never been in my 40’s so I don’t know what to expect.  So far, it’s just like the 30’s.

I came back to the office after lunch yesterday to the photo on the left.  The 40 year old Frank meeting the 17 year old Frank… thanks to my dear Aunt for blowing this up.  I like that along with the past, she included a squirrel… an homage to the present.  I’m sure if I had more time, I could postulate many more metaphorical devices of symbolism… but, there are squirrels to draw and paths to figure out.

It was a good birthday.  Thank you to everyone who wished me well.
