On the eve of my 40th birthday, I take a look back at the first 39 years and make some decisions about how I will live and love through the next decade and beyond. Oh, and I play some podsafe music, too!

As always, I welcome comments.

Listen to my manifesto here.

Also, don't forget that anybody who listens is invited to do an episode of "David's Salon" with me. Just have a topic--any topic--and get in touch with me to set up a recording time.

"Next Time Around" by Mevio Music Alley artist David Ippolito
