Tomorrow I will turn 40 years old. IF I last till 80... this will mean I'm halfway ..... and in the middle of my journey on this planet. As far as I know.<br /><br />So, to celebrate my own life.... here, today... quiet and alone. I'm going to share two great quotes.<br /><br /><span class="title"><a href="http://www.wisdomquotes.com/003245.html">A. Powell Davies</a>:</span> Life is just a chance to grow a soul.<br /><br /><span class="title"><a href="http://www.wisdomquotes.com/000997.html">Abraham Lincoln</a>:</span> And in the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years.<br /><br />Thank you Universe for the responsibility and wonders of being a father and for all of my other wonderful roles. Thank you Mom &amp; Dad for colliding briefly in your histories and producing ME ..... and thank you to my family of friends that have colored the life in my years.<br /><br />Good life so far... I'm having fun with this one.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5787421024491990698-7967061314147987519?l=patrickconway.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Patrick Conwayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16974915590817203042noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5787421024491990698.post-26504835223824546562009-03-17T13:21:00.001-07:002009-03-17T13:26:20.896-07:00<span style="font-size:100%;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_8oAVXBJlxBs/ScAGQTzju0I/AAAAAAAAABk/TYO3VWWlqzU/s1600-h/_MG_3482.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_8oAVXBJlxBs/ScAGQTzju0I/AAAAAAAAABk/TYO3VWWlqzU/s320/_MG_3482.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5314254437561383746" border="0" /><span style="font-family:arial;"></span></a></span><span style="font-size:100%;">The Lost &amp; Nameless Orchestra will be playing a bunch during SXSW.
