The Big 4-0
Today is my birthday, so I'll be taking it comparatively easy. It's time to catch up on my backlog of email in a leisurely fashion, devote some attention to fun side projects, and generally reflect on a good and happy life. Regular posting resumes tomorrow.

Happy Birthday, James. Being forty is as full of wonder and excitement as the best dungeon crawl. Enjoy your day.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday James! And thanks for Grognardia. It's basically the equivalent of my morning news. :)
ReplyDeleteI have the big 4-0 coming my way next month myself. Congratulations for another victory lap around the sun.
ReplyDeletewelcome to 40. i've found it's not really that different from 39, just a bit easier to divide by 4.
ReplyDeleteYour life...as it has been...is over. Oh, wait. That happens when you're married. 4-0 is just another stick of dynomite on the cake of life.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday!
Ciao,

Happy 40th mate.
ReplyDeleteThey say life begins at 40. If that's true, then what ends at 39? Please pass on this information... ;)
Happy Birthday and all the best!
ReplyDeleteAwwww, you're just a KID! :) Happy Birthday, lil' guy!
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday and, yes, thanks for Grognardia.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! You deserve a rest ;)
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday, James! I'm only about 5.5 years behind and catching up fast. :)
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday, JM! :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday James! Hope you have the bandwidth to "enjoy" it properly.
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday! It's a good time to stat yourself up as a Ringworld character and see what you can get with an extra year's worth of skill points - just don't overdo it with the drinking necessary to experimentally determine your CON score. - Tavis
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday, James. Thanks for all the fine blogging.
ReplyDeleteAs you're now officially "old", I'm sure the pace will slacken somewhat. =)
Happy Birthday! It's all downhill from here!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the big 4-0 James, and may you experience another 100 ..
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday, James!!!!.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday, James! Isn't there a save vs. aging to be made at 40? No, wait, the term doesn't end until 42.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your time on Grognardia and occasional correspondence. I'm glad to be acquainted with you.

(As stated on Facebook) From one grognard to another, happy 40th! Raise a mug of space mead to celebrate!
ReplyDeleteCongrats!!! Amusingly enough, I just turned 43 yesterday. (I should have known you were a Scorpio. Now it all makes sense... :P)
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the day! Happy Birthday!
ReplyDeleteMan, you're old.
ReplyDeleteAnd your opinions have become irrelevant nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn now!
Just kidding. Happy b-day, gramps.
Happy birthday! :D
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday, olden dude!
ReplyDelete(It's okay, I'm not very far at all behind you.)
My 40th is in 3 weeks. Happy Birthday!
ReplyDeleteYou should celebrate by getting together a group and doing a good long old-school dungeon crawl.
Happy birthday !
ReplyDeleteI like Grognardia but I hope we will see new SF supplements from you too.
Happy Birthday James!
ReplyDeleteMine was Wednesday.
ReplyDelete--Happy 40th, jr. ;)
Ah, now it DOES become clearer:
ReplyDelete* James, Maliszewski
* Christopher B.
* Kyrinn S. Eis
-- any other Old School Scorpios out there? :)
Welcome up here to the boxed seats James.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday and many, many more!
Happy birthday, James!
ReplyDelete@Timeshadows: yes : )
Happy birthday, you little whippersnapper!
ReplyDelete^ ^ ^ Another Old School Scorpio (43 on Saturday)
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday James!
Yeah. +1
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Sir!
ReplyDelete@Timeshadows: I'll be 39 next 19th, does it count? ;-)
Happy birthday, James!
ReplyDeleteIn about 15 months, I'll be experiencing the same thing!
I didn't know that we share a birthday, James. Have a happy one!
ReplyDeleteI think that you are now the minimum age for a half-elf cleric. Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteWhippersnapper... ;-)
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday!
ReplyDeleteIs your midlife crisis going to be World of Warcraft or Forge games?
"Timeshadows said...
ReplyDelete-- any other Old School Scorpios out there? :)"
Yeah, me too. 44 in 12 days.
Over 40; Where "Dungeon Crawl" takes on a whole new meaning...

Happy birthday!
ReplyDeleteYour blog is inspiring!
Whipper snapper, three of the people in my regular gaming group are grandfathers (yeah, one is MY father but I went to highschool with the other two).
ReplyDelete(...If there's anyone not yet gotten to 40, hurry up please; you're making us feel old ;)
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday - almost belatedly - James. Sounds like a busy enough day for "comparatively easy": trust that was a good one & Best wishes for all ongoing journeyings and ventures. :)

Word Verification: azzloce. Might be able to use that one.
Is your midlife crisis going to be World of Warcraft or Forge games?
ReplyDeleteWell, since I've been avidly playing WoW since December 2004, I guess it'll have to be Forge games.
Oh wait ...
Wheggi is right!Its good to be 40 plus (you get all the chicks "n" everything)
ReplyDeleteHappy Birfday James.
(Roatio? Is that a word? Word verification says it is.)
Happy belated! Hope it was a good one!
