I'll be 35 tomorrow ...

Oh, I'll try it now. Without new challenges, no reason to wake up.

 

Get a cat.

 

You'll especially enjoy losing your toenails during Mile 20.

 

A cat? You're talking to a guy who owns two dogs that hate each other and have had to be separated for more than five years. Then again ... maybe a cat is the perfect thing to straighten them out.

 

A cat gives them a common enemy. Just sayin'.

 

Grow a beard (what I've done this year) or get a tattoo (what I'm doing when I hit 36)

 

I'm very familiar with tattoos. I may have to get a new one while I'm vacationing -- to celebrate my brithday.

 

paging sportschick. Sportschick to the courtesy phone please.

 

Nah, I think I'm too old for her......

 

What's so special about 36? Why wait till then to get a tattoo?

 

Tattoos and facial hair are covered, but I think I'd have to lose about 100 pounds.

 

I dunno, it gives me something special to do for my 36th birthday, instead of just getting drunk. Besides, I turn 36 in a month and a half, so it ain't that far off.
