Twenty Four

[benlehman]

It's my birthday tomorrow (10:45 PM, to be exact.)

It's probably my most melancholy birthday in a while, which makes me sad, because generally I feel that each year of my life has been happier than the last for a while. I'm just sort of feeling at loose ends right now.

I know that this is illusionary. I am working on Polaris, which is the culmination of a 14 year dream! I am headed to China soon.

But I'm getting paralyzed by my doubts again, and that just sucks.

Ah, well. I'm still young, I guess...

For some reason, I imagined you to be a 1-3 years older than that. I suppose that either reflects on your maturity or my lack of it :)

Happy b-day!

:-P

I've always hung out with an older crowd, so I read older to a lot of folks. Guess it is just my nature.

(In China, all these people would ask me "how old are your children?" and "where is your wife?" They assumed I was 36-40. The beard probably was what did it.)
