I start another trip around the sun today.

Starting my 4th quarter century. Will I make it to the end of this new one?

I wonder what kind of odds I can get on the prediction markets.

Happy St. Paddy's Day to all. Just remember to stay home as it is amateur night at the bars.

with my birthday on this day I felt that part of the day was hurt by the fact that there were so many drunken people out. We used to hit an Italian restaurant early so we could get home before 8 PM. 7:30 if possible

Hope he has a great day.

My husband and I have a bottle of Jameson to celebrate. I'll be sure to have one for you!
