The Big 3-0

August 13, 1978, Carswell AFB, Fort Worth, TX...I was born. Hard to believe that was 30 years ago. I'm having mixed feelings about turning 30. I mean, I'm fairly accomplished for a 30 year old teacher, but so many of my friends are way more successful and stable. Partially because they're married and went into more lucrative careers.

I also know, so many people that get depressed about turning 30 (or older). I'm not one of those people. As Aaliyah stated in one of her songs, "Age ain't nuthin' but a number." Truer words were never spoken (or sung in this case).

So, here's to 30 good years, and hopefully many, many, more!
