War Ebook Available!
We see the final battle between the new gods and the old gods, and Kate and Daniel are trying to keep their secrets hidden, or they risk losing all their allies.
Hullo, Mur.
Hullo, 36.
How you feeling? Joints holding up? Old war wound bugging you?
I wasn’t in the war, you know that. I’m feeling OK. Got carded yesterday, even.
She was being nice to you.
Fuck you, 36.
Awww, I’m just kidding.
So yeah, today I’m 36. I’m in the winter of my mid-thirties. And frankly have never been happier. The big difference in the way I feel about my accomplishments in the past 20 years is this:
- In my 20s, there was a lot I didn’t do because I never considered them to be possible.
- In my 30s, nearly everything I’ve done are because I didn’t consider them to be impossible.
Good lord. What are the 40s going to be like?
OK, 36. I’m ready. Bring it.
Share and enjoy!

The forties; even better (I hope since I’m 37), the fifties; I have witnesses claiming that these are better still. Life is an uphill battle, but in many ways a good one
Congratulations!
Your age is now a perfect square, something that hasn’t happened since you were 25. And it’s only likely to happen twice more, when you’re 49 and 64. Just thought I’d point that out.
I happen to be 49 myself now, and I can tell you that the forties are AWESOME. The best decade of my life by a huge margin. You have much to look forward to.
Happy birthday Mur!
Happy Birthday! I hear it only gets better.
How is it some folks, who claim to be adults, still need to use foul language? Is the temptation for being unregulated so great and the urge to spew garbage so necessary that some can’t resist their age to exhibit bad taste?
Fuckin’-A, Rob. That’s precisely it.
Hi Rob,
Not sure what swearing has to do with age, as most people don’t want kids speaking that way (and the more people swear in movies, the older you have to be to watch it.) But it is my right to speak as as I like on my own blog, just as it’s your right not to read it. All language is a tool, and words have two meanings- what I intend to communicate, and what you hear. Clearly I communicated one thing and you heard another. As I have a tendency to use many linguistic tools, including swearing, on this blog, you may not find it to your liking, and may not want to return.
I’m not sure either, but you mentioned your age and I wondered if there was something I was missing. Thanks for the lessons in congeniality.
You’re welcome, Rob. Thanks for the birthday wishes.
Aw, I’m late. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MUR! My 36th is coming up in (…counting…) a wee bit over 4 months. I think it’s all going to be quite awesome, indeed.
My apologies, Mur. My previous comment made no sense. You could well have FOUR perfect-square ages ahead of you: 49, 64, 81, and 100. I was thinking that the next one after 64 was 128, but that’s powers of 2, not perfect squares.
