From Ryan:

Think about this. Brett Favre just played a heck of a game and he is about to turn 40. I don't have anything profound to say that could assuage the heartache of being your age other then there is still a little bit of life that can be enjoyed at least through your 50's. And with recent medical advances you will be able to engage in such activities as walking and driving large cars well into your 80's. I've also been told that some of life's better moments come in the later years. You can tell me all about it. So cheer up, rent a season or two of the "Golden Girls", and enjoy this next chapter of your life. Happy birthday and here's to Parker, Tyler, and Davis insuring that your day is memorable.
