Tangled up and blue

    We could start a whole new category here, guys: Surest ways to pick a 40-year-old out in a crowd. I call 'em 40moments. Here's a 40moment: I know I look 40 when I buy a Dave Matthews Band CD. I don't LOOK LIKE a Dave Matthews fan. I look like a guy trying to enjoy a Dave Matthews CD because his teenage daughter likes them.

    But here, to me, is the surest way that I know I'm lookin' and feelin' 40: When my iPod headphone wire gets tangled up in the seatbelt. Did I put the seatbelt on and THEN the iPod in my ear? Or did I put on my headphones BEFORE I put on the seatbelt? Only way I'll know is to undo the seatbelt and ... have a 40moment.

   Undoubtedly there will be others. Thus the category.
