Wow... I'm 40 today. I guess that means I'm supposed to be a grownup now or something...??

Nah... I don't think so...

Happy 40!

I think that milestone deserves/requires that you go buy yourself a new guitar.

Happy Birthday BBB!

40 is the new 20.

WHen I turned 40 it didn't bother me at all.

The big 5-0 was a real bummer though.

On my 40th birthday, a 6 year old said to me "Are you Jack's dad?" I replied "Yes, you know me from the soccer team that you two were on together". He said "I don't remember your hair being so grey."

I thought I was on candid camera.

Thanks guys!!!

Newtwanger: Man... Those 68's are sure gorgeous. But the prices!!! Ouch!!!!! I doubt there's one of those in my future. Nice idea though...

Grin'n'Pick: New guitar?? No, unfortunately I have too many already. Actually am thinking about selling a few off rather than getting more. Beers?? Yes, am having a big party at my place on Saturday. I have family and friends flying in from England, Florida and California as well as all my insane NY pals...... Am really looking forward to it!!

Cheers!!!!
