It's a beautiful day for a party.

So where are you throwing me this party?  And what time is it?

It's supposed to be sunny and in the mid-80's today, with a light breeze.  That's about all the remarkableness I can come up with for my obligatory, annual, birthday post.

Oh, I guess I could say that I'm now going to admit my age again.  It was a long, tough year, but I made it without saying even "the big four-oh".  As recently as this week, someone asked how old I was, and I said, "Nearly 41."

I guess I can take off the "nearly" now -- but I still have the right to say I'm 29.
