At some point last week, one of the reporters who handles much of our cops/courts stuff read out loud a local police news release that described a 38-year-old suspect as “middle-aged.”

In related news, I turn 38 today.

I’m hoping the agony of my apparent entry into middleagedom will be offset by the purchase of my nifty new digital camera. Expect tons of cat pictures in the near future.

And now, I’m old and tired. And I’m going to bed.
