Yesterday I hit forty – or maybe I should say that forty hit me. Naturally I fully intend to ignore this momentous occasion and not let it disrupt my life. Naturally there will be a party. Today I am plagued by a shitty little cold, lack of sleep and have spent the day traveling to and from Stockholm.
The purpose of the trip was to give a Creative Commons lecture at the University of Stockholm but I also had a birthday lunch with my family and grandmother. In reality this is supposed to be a good thing. But sitting on the train with a ways to go before I can have a shower, a decent cup of tea and sleep – I feel like crap.
Naturally I needed to share this with everyone and prove beyond a doubt that I am developing into a grumpy old man….
