I was going to do another health care post today, but then I realized it was my birthday. I’ve now logged 36 journeys around the sun. And suddenly, forty isn’t just a number. It’s my imminent future. <\/p>\n

My thirty-fifth year was something of a landmark. I started a new job that I continue to enjoy and that suits my interests and abilities quite well. I once vowed that I wouldn’t stay in government long because I didn’t want to slowly transform into a gray and humorless bureaucrat. But it turns out that I’m pretty good at this stuff (at least, most of the time). Check in with me in a decade or two to see if I’m still the enthusiastic public servant but, for the moment, civil service is quite satisfying. <\/p>\n

I get a little anticipatory around my birthday, wondering what will come next. It could be amazing or…not. I’ll find out soon enough. <\/p>\n
