To the editor,

I turn 38 years old on November the 19th. That day I would be two years from the ripe old age of 40. Being middle age is remarkable and rewarding because I have seen alot of things go down, and is still around here to talk about them. Growing up in the 1980s, I saw a lot of things in my time.
