Happy birthday Owen!
And OK maybe it's just me but I feel like we should be giving middle age a few props as well. My life is comfortable, more comfortable now than when I was in my mid-twenties, and certainly more settled--in a good way. And middle age appears to impact cognition in good ways, not bad.
Every Candidate who claimed to be endorsed by God has dropped out
New York Magazine’s Dan Amira notes that every candidate who proclaimed that God had told them to run for the presidency has lost. Herman Cain, Michele Bachmann, Rick Perry, and finally Rick Santorum all claimed at some point that God had endorsed them, yet they all lost to Mitt Romney.

Clearly, the Mormons are the ones who've gotten it right.
I'm sure that some of Santorum's hardcore supporters are disappointed in having to choose between a Mormon and a Muslim.

South Park will back you up on that, if memory serves.
Kat, was there a new Good Wife Sunday night?

So maybe it is just the tamoxifen?
Middle age feels like where I am right now. Getting up in the morning requires a lot of stretching and a lot of ouch. Although we also need a new mattress, so there's that.

THere wasn't, roomie and I watched TAR and then were disappointed.
And yet? I still don't know what I want to do when I grow up. I've been at the same company for 18 years, been doing variations on the same job since 2000 and I still don't feel like I'm out in the real world yet.
Except 13 years, this is me.

And this, too. My mind is calmer and clearer; I was - let's say "volatile" - when I was in my twenties. And I have more money, a career I get some respect for, and a much better grasp on how to handle grown-up things like money and home repairs. I wish I hadn't got fat, but I can't really blame that on getting older.
Mind you, I'm not going to complain about the steady employment, especially in the current economy, but I'd also feel woefully unprepared if something happened that changed that (and with the industry I'm in, it's becoming more of a possibility). The last time I dealt with resumes, I was mailing them out in answer to ads in the newspaper. TWO things that aren't the way they are done anymore.
