Somewhere in the past few or next few days will be the anniversary of my birth that is somewhere over the number 50 (need to be vague for security and my vanity too). Birthdays are a mile marker in your life, and in my case many interesting things have occurred on my birthday (the most interesting was when I was almost expelled from University (along with my residence floor) ’nuff said there). My hope is that nothing too interesting happens this year (however I think that is a dubious wish, given my track record).
