39
Posted by Chuck on November 26th, 2007
Today is my birthday. I am now thirty-nine years old. Thirty-nine…wow, I’m getting old. It’s so weird to think I’m pushing forty. Where has my youth gone? It seems like only yesterday I was twenty-four and having my first child. Now that I think about it that’s awfully young to be having a kid. Anyway, I’m getting old. Mr. “Late 30’s” is on his last leg.
Tomorrow I leave for four days in Chicago. My company is having our national sales meeting there. Last year we were in Tuscon. This year we’re in Chicago….in November. Sounds nice and toasty doesn’t it. Financially I suppose we didn’t have as good a year. Regardless I’m sure it’ll be a interesting meeting and I’ll learn a lot. Plus I’ll get to catch up with colleagues from all over the country. Then I return to Alabama late Friday night and leave for Atlanta (SEC Championship) on Saturday morning.
Y’all have a good week. I’ll catch up when I can.

You do do a lot of traveling.

Imagine my melodious singing voice:
Happy Birthday to you…..
Happy Birthday to you…..
Happy Birthday Dear Chuckie….
Happy Birthday to you!!
You’ll be hearing that later on the phone, but I wanted you to imagine it first, so you can have the giddy anticipation of what’s to come. I’m such a good friend, aren’t I?
Happy Birthday babe!! Have a fantastic day. Enjoy 39. Or at least your first 39!

You’ll find your 40s are not that much different from your 30s, only your hair will get a bit grayer. Thing is, you’re still young, and it tends to give you an air of distinction. Makes you just about invisible to young chicks though, which is why guys use that shampoo that dies it back. Your choice. Of course, it could all begin to fall out, as you begin to grow more hair on your back and shoulders… I know, I should have quit with “distinction”. Happy Birthday buddy. Enjoy it.

Happy, Happy Birthday Chuck! You’re only as old as you feel and judging by the way you act I’m guessing that can’t possibly be over 25. Hehe.

Happy Birthday. I am sure the Vols gave you exactly what you wanted. As to Chicago, could be worse, could be Boston.

old and ugly that Chuck is a bad combination.
I would suggest some plastic surgery and a mid life crisis as quickly as possible
i fully expect to see you driving a red sports car, dying your hair black and wearing a william shatner brand girdle.

39?
Damn you’re an old fart. I’m not so sure I want to hang out with you now Chuckie.
I mean, holding your cane while you use the bathroom doesn’t appeal to me.
Cane=walking stick….you old perverted bastard.
Safe travels Chuckie…and good luck Saturday!!
Happy Birthday dude

Hell, I’ve got combat boots older than you!
Happy Birthday!

Since when has 39 been old??
Don’t be afraid of being 40.
My forties have been the best time of my life.

Happy Birthday Chuck dear. You’ll surely have another wonderful year. AND soon you’ll be old enough for me.

Happy Birthday Chuck! I hope you had a great day and a fabulous year. I agree with Ed - 40s are cool. I think for me I finally just said, “what the fuck am I doing with my life?” and started living for me. (Well, my dad died too so that played a role.)
Anyway, it’ll be kick ass fun.

Happy Birthday to you!
Happy Birthday to you!
Happy Birthday Dear Chuckles!
Happy Birthday to you!

Thanks to you all for the birthday well wishes. I really appreciate it!! It’s been a pretty good day. Now I’m headed to bed (8:15pm) cause I have to get up at 4:30 tomorrow morning!
Be sure to check back around Wednesday for a special guest post!!
November 26th, 2007 at 9:53 pm
Hey, Chuck…long time, no speak. Just wanted to come through and say “Happy Birthday!” Hope it was one of the best!
November 26th, 2007 at 11:33 pm
Have to get to bed because you have to be up at 4:30?? Damn, you ARE old … I have to be up at 4:30 as well, but you don’t see me trottin it to bed just yet, of course that could have something to do with my other half being outside working on the heater since it’s blowing cold air. Sure is cold here in OK (in the 30’s). Enjoy Chicago, lol!!

Happy Birthday, Chuck!
Have a safe trip.

Hahahahaha! It’s all in good fun =D

Granted I’m only a couple weeks into this 40 thing, but so far, so good. I mean, I feel like I’m still 24, and sadly, I suppose, there’s times I still act like it. Eh, it’s all a numbers game! Happy birthday to you! Men rock the late 30s/40s thing.
November 28th, 2007 at 12:42 pm
Happy Birthday - late! Pfft…39 isn’t old. Wait until you’re MY age.
Have a good trip~~~

Happy belated Birthday, Chuck! I’ve been to Chicago in November before and was surprised that it started getting dark at 4 p.m. And…then I moved to Seattle where it starts at 3:30. Hope you’re not freezing your ass off over there:)
November 28th, 2007 at 1:47 pm
Hope you had a great day! 40 is the new 30, ya know! (Just giving you something to look forward to.)
November 28th, 2007 at 10:00 pm
Happy Belated Birthday, Chuck! And don’t worry… 40’s not bad… I’ve been there about 7 years now! xox

Sorry I missed the BIG DAY. Happy Belated Birthday
