This is an unusual post for a Wednesday, but this is an unusual Wednesday. I don’t usually have birthdays and internal organs removed on the same days, so yeah, it’s unusual.

I know, you’re probably wondering How old is Evan, anyway?

Thank you for wondering. Today I’m 40.

This captures well how I’m feeling about that number (and probably most of the numbers from here on out):

Gall bladder, by the way.

I wasn’t sure what a gall bladder did before this. Now I know. Gall bladders sit and do nothing and when you least expect it (and probably when you’re having more than the usual amount of fun, say, a vacation) they provide the body with intense pain and demand to be removed.

Now you know too.
