I was hanging out with some acquaintances when I brought up that I had a birthday recently. The woman I was talking to asked how old I was. I told her I was 40 and then braced myself for the inevitable “Dayum, I didn't know you were that old!" reaction I get from people. But instead, she didn't say anything.

I've finally got out of my reading slump this year and have been reading a ton.

There's an old interview with the Olsen Twins that lives rent-free in my brain. In it, the girls, who are about five at the time, are being interviewed by Regis and Kathie Lee (remember them?).
