Transmissions: A birthday message

So today is my birthday, a bittersweet observance where we celebrate making it around the sun one more time, while secretly regretting all the things you wish you had accomplished by this particular age. Or at least it is for me; your own mileage may vary.

As one gets older – when those things we euphemistically call "laugh lines" start to carve a path around our face, and while our hair starts to trade its youthful luster in for a larger and larger smattering of gray – we begin to think more and more about where we've come from, where we're going, and if we've picked up some wisdom along the way. We may even feel we've picked up some knowledge along the way that's worth sharing.
