THE 40'S ARE A SOFTWARE UPGRADE

I heard this about a year ago and then again on a (podcast) on my drive home yesterday. And seeing that I just recently had a birthday, that quote rang in my ear loud and it only made more sense than it did the first time. In fact, it was almost serendipitous that I heard this quote on the way home from lunch with a new friend where we talked about re-invention, and subtle, but superb changes in the 40’s.

And I can handle it. But showing up for the trick or treaters and making a memory all comes with a price. And from my point of view it’s incredibly worth it. And here’s why.
