41.......

Coming home from work today, I realized there's not alot of cultural references to the number 41.

Bush 41? That's only applicable to one man. It's the 13th smallest prime number. It's the atomic number of niobium. Montana was the 41st state admitted to the Union.

In Christianity, it represents the 39 lashes given to Christ, plus the spear thrust in His side, and the crown of thorns placed on His head. This is definitely the meaning to revere.

So, now 41 can add another meaning; for the next year. My age.

As The Who once said so well:

"...this is no social crisis, just another tricky day for you."
