Mozart and Mendelssohn Were Dead By Forty. Why Aren't You?

I gave my mother a card with that on the front when she turned 40, so it seems only fair to apply it to me. In my defense, I was 12 or 13 and it's a line from a British sitcom.

I'm taking a half day off work and going over to the Buena Vista Cafe for Irish coffee; Nov 10 is the birthday for that drink too, although it's older.

Something Positive did a shout-out to Sesame Street today - Sesame Street also turned 40.

I'm hoping it will be on the same line as Are You Being Served?... That would make me a happy camper.
