I'm sad to say, that I'm no longer 40.

I passed that milestone on the 14th while I was in Grand Portage.
I liked being 40. A story line that I never developed was that a guy figured out a way to experience the lives of people in the past, but none of them lived beyond the age of 40, though they all lived at least that long. By this method, he was able to experience real life through all of the last 2500 years, though he grew pretty tired of the pain of dying. And only in the last year of each life was he able to remember and integrate the experiences which he gained, though he had to experience the frustration of not being able to change history.

Take this ball and run with it, if you have the creative skills.
