We were at E&Y then, and we had a little party for you in our shared office space at Cigna Tower. I remember it being a little like watching a movie: at one point people were milling around and laughing, The Doors' tune "The End" was playing on a boom box, and it seemed a little like things were in slow motion. It was your 30th and you'd just left K for good - you really knew how to pile the milestones on :-). Hard to believe that was a decade ago. Best of luck in your 40's and onward. later...

And of course, my relationship with her is high among the reasons that I'm celebrating my decision of 10 years ago. The above from my beautiful girlfriend.

Without those intervening years of singlehood, I would never have met you and that would have been a travesty. (Even though it took us long enough to meet!) I suppose I should thank your ex-wife for making me look so good, even though I would never wish the type of relationship you had with her on anyone. There is no doubt in my mind that your 40s hold many great things and I hope to explore them all with you. Why worry about how you live your 20s, 30s, 40s, etc. so long as you're happy doing it? Society places too many rules upon us as to what is acceptable, even to the point of dictating a timeline of how we should live our lives. I say to hell with it:) Let's live now -- just the way we want to. Tomorrow you begin a new decade of your life. I can't wait to see what happens next:) And how incredibly grateful I am that you walked out the door 10 years ago.
