No, just two score. Years, that is. Forty years ago this week my forefather and mother brought me forth on this planet. And what a long, strange trip it’s been. Really, I’m verklempt.

See you on the other side of 39, sweets! Hopefully I’ll do more blogging there.

Yea! Happy B’day back to you! I’m having a great day so far. Hopefully I can blog about it soon.
