Yep.... today is the official day that that another calendar
year stike mark is added to my already long string of 39 strikes.

I want to thank the Lord for allowing me to go this far in life
with knowing him..... thank him for my wife, kids, and church family....

.... and I want to thank the academy.  

   [I always wanted to say that.  That's what they say when 
    the recipient of an Oscar get up on stage riiiiiight?]

Actually, 12 years ago.... my oldest daughter was born as well.
I didn't have much of a birthday celebration then as the birthing
event for "Elisabeth Sarah Nally" (esnally@juno.com) kinda occupied 
the whole day.  I remember when I left the hospital, I went back to
an empty mobile home ('cept a cat named COBOL).  On the way home,
I stopped off in Rantoul at a Burger King and had a value meal of
some sort before proceeding home to finally get some rest for that
long long long eventful day.  Quite a birthday present! 

Now, with me having my 1st annual 39th birthday party, last night
at church was the first time *my* birthday had really been celebrated
in a grand party-like style.  Before, the focus was on Elisabeth as
she really gets into it.  Which was fine.  My wife, Sis Treva, told
her that this year there's no big celebration for her since her father's
40th is going to be big complete with vultures, black trimmings, black
balloons, a grim reaper with a violin playing a death march, a cake that
said "Here lies Tyler's youth" in the shape of a tombstone, and on and
on.  Anything that might suggest that I'm "Over the Hill" was implemented
that 50% of my life has now expired.  I told them last night that it's 
probably more like 33.3% (age of Moses when he was booted out of Egypt
and sent out into the desert the first time).  Or .0000000000000000001% 
as 40 years divided by an eternity of afterlife isn't even 1.  In fact it's 
just about as close to zero without being there.   

Thanks ... and ... I'm just now getting started.
