Turning 40!!!

Tools

By Sports KSFY

Last week, I moved to the fourth decade of life, when I turned 40-years old. People asked, "Do you feel different?" No, I really don't.

Just to make sure I don't look 40, I recently gave the age guesser guy at Valley Fair a chance. He said 34. I won a blowup bat for that.

At age 40, I can look at both the future, and the past. My son Luke is almost 6-monthes old. While my dad is almost 79. In one picture you can see what it's like at the beginning, the middle, and if I'm so blessed, the twilight of life.

Looking back after leaving home for college at 19. The 20's were about staying up to late, spending more money than I had, and basically living pretty carefree, really wondering what the future would hold.

The 30's were about getting married and starting a family. My wife and three kids are the greatest decisions I've made in 40-years. It was also a time of getting a better understanding of where a career was headed. It's a career I've thouroughly enjoyed.

Now it's time to start the next 40, I hope they'll be as good as the first.

I even work with you and had no idea that you were 40. It's a good thing you stay in top physical condition, it really has taken years off of your appearance. Keep up the good work. - Jayco

I-CAN'T-BELIEVE-IT!!! I was walking by the T.V. and thought I heard the name "Thor". I googled KSFY and here you are, another "THOR"! My name is "Thor" too (you even look like family), but the wildest part is I'm ALSO turning 40 (in November!) I've always thought about the age thing too, but you made me feel better, thanks! I just joined my wife in S.D. on Sep 5, 2008(from Houston, TX - missed IKE). This is yet another wonderful welcome to S.D. Thanks!

I agree I turned 16 here this month. I probably won't feel any different. I love watching you.
