On Monday, January 26, I’ll turn forty. I’m okay with it.

If you’ve seen the weather forecast, you know a big winter storm is coming our way. That could mean a power outage, so I might not be able to log in for a few days. If I’m offline, that’s the reason.

My bit of advice to you on your 40th -

"The problem is you think you have time."

Don't put off doing all the things you want to do. If you wait until you're ready you'll never do them.

We still have power, but the roads are in bad shape, and most places are closed. So much for our plans.
