Welcome to the club. The 40’s are great, different type of swagger.

Happy birthday, Ethan. I'm 41, will be 42 in November.

A few months before I turned 40, my dad and I were driving back from an Orioles game when he told me that his 40s and 50s were the most enjoyable years of his life. He's in his 70s, and I believe him. It helped a good deal calming the nerves.

Happiest of birthdays to you, Ethan. Just so you know, you're not "the first generational cohort to have this age incongruity issue". It's universal, babe.

You’re already on the upper end of middle age. How many 80 year olds do you know!? Just giving you a hard time. You’ve arrived where most everyone does. Fighting then day to day and providing for your loved ones. Time, family and friends are where it’s at. I used to think that the expression “everyday above ground is a good one” was trite. But at 67 and closer to the end of line, I mean it and live it. You do the same now. Enjoy your 40”s because as you now see; everything seems to fast forward with each passing year.
