A Meh Milestone

At about 5:45am CST, I turned 36 years old today.  It's a number without a 5 or a 0 or a 9, so it's kinda one of those meh birthday markers.  I'm now definitely in the latter part of my mid-30's and about to stumble into my late-30's, which means 40 is ever closer. Yikes.  The one thing people do tell me is that I don't look my age. I look younger. My TV/Film agent still sends me out for mid to late 20's roles, which is good to hear.  My first television role was as a high school senior when I was 28 years old, so I guess that should have been a sign. Not that I'm complaining, mind you...

So far, it's been a good birthday.  Saturday Katie popped for a very nice birthday dinner for Tom and I at a very, very, very nice place in Topanga. This just reconfirms that Katie is just one of the coolest chicks ever. It was great just to spend time with her.  So, thanks, Katie. 

Tonight, Tom and I are off for some celebratory sushi, which will be great.  I've received some great messages during the day, birthday wishes from old friends and new ones. So, while things haven't exactly gone my way lately, I'm trying to accentuate the positive.  We'll see.

So Happy (Belated) Birthday, Jon! I can't even remember what I was doing when I was your age, whippersnapper, but I have this advice for you: don't sweat the age thing until your mid-50s. At least, that's my plan.

Big hugs and, always, very best wishes. B.
