The irony is that I am 37 and relatively unattached.

Haven’t been out of school, since — how can you be out of school when your profession is an academic?

Teaching kids who are old enough to be my sons and daughters, that is a frightening thought.

Happy Canada Day!!!

Thanks GB. I did not really have any expectations when I started this blog in March. I was still a full-time student but became unemployed for 2 months (Feb/March) when my auxiliary term position ended. I had been working full-time and going to school full time and I think I just grew accustomed to a certain amount of stress and business in my life. Working on the blog filled the gap until I could find another work position. It has been really interesting to watch how the visitors to my blog seem to grow exponentially each month. As for the personal stuff....well thanks for the young 39 thing. I found this interesting article in the Star today about turning 40 and it seems I am not the only one that is having some trouble with making the mental switch to entering a new phase of life. The age and the empty nest thing (they are both coming at once making it hard to separate them)...so many of my friends (my age) have much younger children or are just having their first or second child now. It makes it much more strange. I suppose I could go overseas to work as well after my youngest heads off to college next year. I have not traveled much since my children were born and I feel I have missed out on that piece. I think I will enjoy that aspect of my new found freedom. I really appreciate your suggestions, reassurance and the support I received from the GB when I first started. GB, Far and Wide, Jason Cherniak, Saskboy, BCer in Toronto, Liberal Catnip and Scott from Prog Blog and many others were all really supportive when I was starting out and it has made all the difference for me. Will be sorry to have missed you at the BC Progressive Blogger meeting.

Damn! Congratulations on the stats! They’re terrific!

Now, if we have to deal with these things:

I am 39 years old.
That, lovely lady, is a young woman. Relish in it.

My youngest child will graduate next year.
Enjoy the moment and give it away. Let it be his/her accomplishment.

I am already having a hard time with the idea that I could be an empty nester as soon as next summer.

Go on a cruise. There is a chance I could be the Captain and you’ll get a better tour than the other passengers.

All joking aside, I wish I could make it to the PB gathering, but we’re a week out of sync.

A pre Canada Day party Jeremy sounds like a lot of fun. I am looking forward to wandering into the masses tonight for the fireworks. It’s always so packed on this day downtown. Crazy!

Hey,

Thanks for tagging me. I’m currently at a beautiful party in Victoria and so cannot really write much. I would just like to say that I like and am inspired by your blog.

Cheers!
