And this year...

...I'm Fifty Five years old.

The last fifteen years in particular(since I moved into my house) have been both an eternity and gone by so quickly that I'm astonished that I'm this old! When I was younger I thought I'd be dead by 30. Fifty five is not really otherwise significant except for the fact that I can access the remainder of my roll-over fund if I really wanted to.  Today I'm too busy to celebrate much, and in any case I hate haveing too much fuss made over birthdays. Next week sometime (after my confirmation docs are done) I might celebrate.
