this is a latin mock aphorism for "Don't let the bastards grind(or get ) you down". According to Wikipedia this is incorrect latin for the phrase intended. The correct Latin is "Noli nothis permittere te terere". Either way, on this day my 40th birthday which concludes 4 decades or more correctly starts my 4th decade is appropriate for reasons too lenghty to get in to. That said, 2008 is nearly over, 2009 has great promise, if for nothing else, it is in front of me and 1968 through 2008 is behind me. Great things await and I look forward to every experience, good or bad that will shape year 41 and make me better than the prior 40 years.
It's cool to be 40!..
