I'm 55. Which explains a lot about why I'm so slow and sometimes a little bit umm "jaded" might be the right word.

Out fishing with Annie on his lap, a cigar in one hand and a ginger ale in the other, watching the sunset.

27 as of July 10th.

I'm actually looking forward to 30. I hear it's the new 20, and since I don't remember most of 20, I figure I deserve a second shot at it.

I've got 3 full decades under my belt. Oops, looks like there's another decade residing above my belt...

40 and looking for a mid-life crisis, now that I have the excuse.
