We are finally 40.
Being an identical twin born on 11-11 means that I was destined to be a significance junky. Ever since I was a small child, I have always looked forward to 11-11-11, and to turning 40. Of course, for most of my life, this milestone seemed so incredibly far in the future.
But not anymore. It’s here. Mike and I are finally 40. Age, as I always remember old people saying, is just a number. But, still, 40 years is a long time!
In November 1971:
- Intel releases the first microprocessor
- Led Zeppelin releases the album that most of us call Led Zeppelin IV, which eventually becomes one of the best selling albums of all time
- D.B. Cooper hijacks a Northwest Orient Airlines flight and escapes by parachute with $200,000 in ransom
- Mariner 9 becomes the first spacecraft to successfully enter Mars orbit
The past 40 years have been a blast. Now here’s to another 40, with my original womb-mate.

Right on, that is very awesome bro! Has certainly been an awesome 40. Can’t wait for our 80th bday. Think Dawn, et al., will do that one too?
Good times bro!
Your original womb-mate.
