Every March 15th, I remember the day I joined the Maxim Pad. I was in Maxim Pad a week prior to March 15th, 2000, but on March 15th there was a huge laugh-riot debate about The Ides of March. So, every March 15th I think of you good friends/fools.
I hope all is well with you all. I turn 55 years old tomorrow and have never felt old before. But last year kicked my ass, and I feel old now.
I officially got divorced last year February, after 6 years of separation. I lost both of my parents due to COVID last summer. I lost three friends my age or younger due to COVID and two due to cancer since last November. I feel tired a lot. I'm just fucking old! I also just had a dime-sized patch of skin cancer removed from my nose 4 weeks ago. It's healing well. Wear your sunscreen!!
BUT! I'm working, so that's cool. I work from home. That's cool too. I make $120,000 a year writing for CVS.com, so that's cool as well. I actually take meetings and write a bit for about 4 hours and in between watch TV.
My boys, age 13 and 17 are a daily trial, but I love them.
I don't drink as much as I used to. No more drinking 5ths. I buy a couple of beers about every three days (Yes, they are 42. oz Icehouse beers wich are 5.5% alc/vol, but better than when I used to guzzle Early Times and Wild Turkey.
That's my update. What are youz guyz up to?
