not on the agenda.......

ok, so i want to make sure, to certain readers in particular, that i have no intention of falling victim to the ocd habits of some of our friends.......that turning 49 will not prompt me to walk 49 miles, or ride 49 miles.....or do 49 laps around a pool, or do 49 situps......or 49 of anything.......well.....maybe a 49 minute nap.....but that would be difficult to orchestrate........i could be forced to take extra minutes of sleep by borrowing from future birthdays......but back to this birthday milestone celebration business......who got this started?.....which of our crazy friends decided that he (and i am quite positive it was a he) had something to prove by running his age?......after a point, this becomes excessive on one's joints and potentially lifethreatening......does one continue on into 80 miles on the 80th..........if need be, i will find subtler ways to mark my personal passing of the years.......what do you say about 49 sips of a decent champagne..........or 49 fresh raspberries........or 49 caviar eggs........49 shrimps seems a bit over-the-top.......49 minutes of extra sleep is sounding less caloric and more desirable................
