On Northern Exposure, when Maggie turned 30, she wrote letters to all of her ex-boyfriends and threw the notes into the river.

I’m turning 40 this summer. I haven’t decided if I should do something dramatic like Maggie or something silly (like buy a pair of leather pants while my ass is still in the right place) or something conventional (like a weekend in NYC without the children).

What did you do when you hit a major, milestone birthday in the past?
