Never trust anyone over 30


Check out this great card from Michelle!
This morning I woke up to find a half dozen e-cards in my inbox and birthday wishes scattered around the web. Thanks, guys—you shouldn’t have. But I’m afraid Ashley’s right—today isn’t my 30th, it’s my 31st.

After disappearing on vacation for the last week and failing to post anything on this site for so long, I expected you all would have forgotten me. It warms my heart to have been linked, tracked-back and e-carded. Thanks again.

Just for kicks, here’s my personalized horoscope for today, too:

Today you could be making a list of things that you would like to improve, Mike. You could decide to change certain aspects of your appearance. Maybe you are ready to adopt a new image. It could be time to invest in a new wardrobe. Or you might be interested in becoming more physically fit. You could make a trip to the gym and experiment with some weight-lifting. Or you might enjoy a good jog or hike.

Is there something wrong with the way I’m dressed? If you’ll excuse me, I’m headed to the gym to try and get in shape.

    don’t worry, liar. you are still fabulous at any age.

    the “change certain aspects of your appearance” suggestion isn’t all that bad, though.

  2. Mike Says:

    Again with the contacts thing, huh? Ok, I’ll try.

  3. Ash Says:

    Hmmm… invest in a new wardrobe. Does that mean buy more socks? :) Meanwhile, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

  6. Christine Says:

    PS - I guess this means you have to change your blogchalk to the 31-35 year old group now, huh? ;)

    Correction…

    It seems that at nearly 33 I’ve gotten to the point where I am very forgetful. Mike is 31 today,

    Happy Birthday Mike! You’re gonna like “early 30s.” I know I did back in the late 90s.

    happy bday from a untrustworthy 33 year old….seeing over 30 = zero trustability

  16. RayR Says:

    I wouldn’t say 33 isn’t a bad age. I’m 44 and I don’t think that is so bad.
