Thanks very much, Suzanne! I turned 40 today, and have been pondering such thoughts as: When I was born Lyndon Johnson was the president, you could buy a tankful of gas with your pocket change, and NASA was still working on the technical problems involved in getting astronauts back from the moon.

I had a funny moment the Saturday after Thanksgiving while visiting Weston, Missouri with my wife and family... I was in a clothing store run by a former schoolmate of mine, and was chatting with her when a teenage girl who looked just like her younger sister (minus the Farrah hair) came in, and I realized this was the sister's daughter. It's not as if I felt suddenly old, but it was startling.

Oh, and there was a microburst and a relatively harmless tornado at roughly the same time. It was a memorable shopping trip.
