The Big "30"

The time is nigh and upon me; that I should be bestowed a thirtysomething. Having come to Japan in my mid-twenties and going home in my early thirties is a bit bewildering for me. My, my, how life has changed in my time here. Got married, got out of debt, experienced life in an entirely new manner, watched my own self grow up. I'm still a kid, it's just that the toys are bigger and a bit more expensive. I look forward to seeing what my thirties hold for me. Hopefully, with God's help, great things. Anyway, I'll see what it really feels like in the morning. That and shaving off my beard really ought to put a spin on things. We'll see. Well, Happy Birthday to me!
