They didn't get their start shooting college students!

Next week it is then!
37 was one of my better years. I had disposable income to go do whatever stupid hijinks I could think of. I did start seeing less of my friends who had started families. But I also switched jobs to do new interesting things. We did lots of concerts, community events, I took photography classes. It was great. I enjoyed my thirties.
My forties have been very rough though. And that could just be from coincidence of life events happening. I'm actually looking forward to 50. I am hoping my 50s are like my 30s, just a tad slower. And my friends are coming back on the radar as their kids are leaving for college.
I used to get somewhat concerned about the remaining time I have left, but I must have somehow come to terms with it. I look back on the last 25 years and think of all that has happened. It feels like both just yesterday and "damn, that was forever ago". The next 25 may feel just as long and be just as full. I'm ok with that. I'm just trying to enjoy the ride.
I truly appreciate devotion to authenticity.
Small technical correction:
To DEcrease withholdings (the dollars shown on the Fed line of your paystub)
One must INcrease exemptions claimed on Form W-4
But the rest is correct. If you underwithhold/underpay you risk penalties come April.
However, if you try to claim so many exemptions as to get to zero federal withholdings, employers are required to second-guess you and make you document the exemptions you are claiming (not all will do this but they're required to nonetheless). But if you go to very little federal withholding, just not zero, employers generally don't give a shit and will just make the payroll adjustments accordingly.
I just boarded a flight and had a moment where I hoped you were also not at my gate!!
I guess if you have to sit on the street overnight, sitting with a whole group of martial artists is the universe's way of recognizing that it did you dirty and it's sorry.
Yeah me too but such is not always possible in some cities. Or for some budgets.
When they close the office for the night. I've run across this with small hotels, b&bs. But sometimes they also can make arrangements if I tell them I am arriving late. Always ask!
Don't forget to pick up a tin of cookies at the dollar store when you get your kit. You get snacks and a place to store your sewing supplies that is needle-poke-proof.
