Tony’s Turning 40

I can’t believe that I am turning 40. It’s fortunate that I’ve already had a number of “mid-life” crises, so I’ll be fine. In some ways being 40 is no different from being 39, but the mental impact is the clincher. A friend of mine told me that his father called it the “40-year flop.” While I am not anticipating “flopping” any time soon, it does provide a moment of introspection and evaluation of future plans. I will let you know if I decide to buy a red sports car or get a hair transplant. I am not sure if I wanted to post this to reflect on my birthday or simply to say that I updated my blog. I hope to start posting some of my research and writing, so get ready for more random thoughts from an urban theologian.
