Well, I officially turn OLD today! Yes, it's my dreaded 40th birthday. When I was born, the Apollo moon flights were getting underway. Woodstock had just taken place, and the Vietnam war was in full swing. It's funny - I am at an age where I look older, but still feel like I'm 25. Many have said that this will be the best decade of my life. I cirtainly hope so. My kids are graduated from high school now, and it's mainly just me and my wife at home. The boys still come and go, but we don't see them much.
I have a great civil service job that I enjoy, and it pays well for this part of the country. I just bought a house a few years ago that I really enjoy. I have resumed my boyhood hobby of coin collecting, except now my collection is a bit more expensive, but I enjoy it immensely. I have virtually everything I ever wanted. So in that sense, I suppose my life has been successful. I'm not wealthy, but I am happy. I consider myself very lucky to be where I am today.
I have no plans for any big party or anything like that. Just a peaceful meal of steak and lobster with my family this evening. That sounds like a perfect birthday to me. I just wish I didn't have to work today. :)

The purpose of this blog is to raise awareness that there are far more atheists and agnostics in America than is commonly believed. I hope to inspire others like myself to voice their opinion and rational beliefs and to remain publically quiet no more. Atheists in America are the least trusted demographic, yet we outnumber other minority groups. It's time for rational thinking, non-superstitious people; atheists and agnostics to stop hiding our opinions from the public for fear of retribution.
