Fortunately it hasn't gone there so far, and so now that we have addressed it maybe you wouldn't mind if I changed the M word to something else?

It’s an option. But I do advise to both enjoy today AND be prepared for tomorrow.

Tip of the iceberg. But we're all still here smiling, riding and joking, not necessarily in that order.

Pcad would have wanted it that way. I was tempted, but I hate being predictable.

40 for me was peak career push and peak child care. I remember enjoying both of those things and I can piece it together from the papers published and the family pictures, but it really is a blur.

No clue. Haven’t had anything traumatic happen in recent memory. Started having shoulder pain in March and attributed it to the working from home adjustment. It got bad enough last week that I went to the ER and they did an MRI.
The pain comes and goes but I meet with an orthopedic next week to find out what the long-term deal is. In the mean time I bought one of those hanging upside down tables which actually helps a bit.

For me, 40 was 2016. Other than my daughter being born and my boy learning how to ride a bike, I wasn't too fond of that year.

I retired from racing as a Cat 2 when I turned 40 and never looked back. I kept my license until age 45 but never used it after the season I turned 40. That's also when I quit shaving my legs.
