So, I'll be 50 in a Couple of Hours...

What should I expect? Sudden incontinence? Flatulant priapism? Spontanious dandruf storm? Plummeting testestorone levels with decreasing interest in fast cars? Uncontrollable desire to eat a soy burger?

Not sure I can go on.

And on, and on...

Got ya beat by a bit over 5 years, some days I still feel like I'm 25, other days I feel my age, I expect that's all you'll feel too.

You'll feel the same in the morning, I guarantee. It's not like some big thing happens right away, but I think you know that already. Growing older is a gradual decline. I can still play two gigs a day at 61. I feel like I'm two or three decades younger...until I look in the mirror.

I know people who are still sharp in their late 80's. It all depends on how well you take care of yourself, as well as other factors you may have no control over.

Happy birthday! BTW, you were 50 several months ago depending on how long you were in the womb. Now just pretend you're 30 and avoid trampoline parks, and get yourself a fun tele-related gift!

All that stuff happens past 60 (I'm there) except I love fast cars more than ever + a soy burger = oxymoron?

Congrats. Enjoy it. Ignore the stuff about being old and appreciate the good stuff. It gets better in many ways.

Hell, my wife's still in her thirties. I'm still happy when it ends up on the floor!

Look at it like this. It really isn't your birthday. You only get one of those. And since it isn't your death day, well that makes it just another day. So, happy another day to you!

That'll keep your mind busy until nap-time. :)
