At the factory, years ago, I saw people getting “gifted” with black balloons, dead flowers and “Over The Hill” banners on 30th and 40th birthdays. When mine came around, I kept it to myself.

Watching parts of the 24 hour race at Daytona Hoovered up big chunks of the weekend here in the Nott house. Kind of a pleasure/guilt tug-of-war, enjoying the race, but feeling like there’s something else I should be doing.  
I know, I’m doing my MMP in the late MAfternoon. Shtappens.
