Random Thought for Thursday 2/21/13

You Can't Deny You've Hit 40 When ...

... you realize that the most exciting part of the going out drinking is knowing that you'll have "hangover Chinese food" the day after.

I mean, sure -- I still have fun on the occasional bar crawl (in this 'hood or out of town).  Being social and meeting new people is nice.  Playing Golden Tee or throwing Darts satisfies my minimum threshold of "exercise" (sad, I know).  Testing the limits of Guinness' restorative powers is just par for the multiple-courses-of-alcohol for me.

But as I age, those are all just tasks that stand in the way of me and some MSG flowing through my veins, mixing and melding with the alcohol content in my blood to produce some kind of comfort that can't be reproduced elsewhere or "elsewise".  Ah ... my forties -- I have no choice but to embrace the changes!

THIS WOULD BE HIGHER THAN #11 ON MY LIST (AND LOOK AT #9):
