First off, let me say that I am not old. I do not feel old. My friends say that I do not look old (of course friends would say that wouldn't they??). It is just that after you pass that 40 milestone, and the next milestone is sneaking up on you, that you begin to wonder about alternatives. I have come up with an idea, and as far as I know, it is original. If you have seen it somewhere before, please let me know, and after I get done with the tantrum, I will aknowledge their precedence.

I call my concept:

The Anti-Birthday Holiday

You have heard of anti-gravity and anti-mater. What I propose is something to counteract birthdays.

Everyone has a birthday every year. Mine is January 16th (don't forget the cards next year). Let's say that we pick a day halfway between our birthdays. Mine would be July 16th. On July 16th, I plan on having an "Anti-Birthday" party. On that day, I would lose a year of age. I turned 45 in January, so I will be 44 in July. Next January, 45 again. Next July, 44 again.

The only problem is, how do you have an "Anti-Birthday" party??

Do you inhale to make the candles go out?? (Clinton is in trouble then LOL)

Do 20 people call you up in advance to invite you to an "Anti-Surprise" party??

I suppose that you would have to re-wrap the gifts that you got 6 months before so that they would be available in 6 months..........

I suppose you would have to sing "Happy Birthday" to everyone else........

ummmmmm I think I will pass on saying what happens with the cake ......

You know, this sounded like a good idea when I started. Maybe I should just accept the march of time and be happy for now.

OK, Next concept, Anti-Christmas. On June 25th, all your Christmas bills magically disappear........
