On Wednesdy, the 24th, i turned 40. The big 4-0. Doomsday. Black Wednesday. The demarcation line between young and old, it seems. Over the hill, as it were.
My beautiful wife sprung a surprise party for me at work that afternoon. Most of my staff attended, and well as some other friends at the office. Caroline & David got to come. But the big surprise was that my parents and sister flew in from Texas to celebrate the event with me. That was really cool.
I actually knew about the party itself. Someone at work accidentally included me on an email with the secret. They quickly tried to cover the mistake with a ruse to get me out of my office, so someone could sneak in and delete the email from my computer, but i had already read it. Nevertheless, i played along with the ruse, and didn't let on that i knew anything. But i didn't know who all would be there, so there was still some element of surprise involved.
