I watched most of the show. I missed about 45 minutes when I decided I was bored and decided to take a bath.

The part I enjoyed the most: Neil Diamond signing Sweet Caroline. The only other Neil Diamond song I like better is They’re Coming To (America).

Okay it’s silly. I know it’s silly and I feel sheepish for feeling this way. But I do.

Many of my friends are over 40 ― hell, some are in their 50s and 60s and are much more energetic and vibrant than I was at 25. Age is a number.

But still, I’m turning 40 in a few weeks. (I know I know….start the violins…)

I told my friend K. that I feel a little dumb for feeling this way ― 40 is no big deal and I’m getting wound up for no reason. K, bless her, told me that it’s not dumb to have feelings about something. What’s dumb is thinking that your feelings are dumb. She may have a point. Maybe.

Anyway, I’m turning 40 and I have blog ―so now all of you will have to deal with my angst during the rapid journey towards ’50 and fabulous”.It can only get better, right? Does glucosamine help with sore knees? Will drugstore bifocals do the trick? Does the longterm use of hair dye have any health implications?
I need answers.
