Well, I’ll be fifty in six days. I’m told my due date was Christmas Day, but I wasn’t good enough for that, so God put me on a day more appropriate to my nature! 😃

Fifty is old – at least until I turn fifty with my twin sister **Baker** in six days – at which point fifty will be young.

Happy Birthday!

You become hotter than a two dollar pistol and demand to be serviced sexually at all hours of the day and night.

Might have replied yesterday, but I was at the hospital all afternoon / evening…  
**HAPPY BIRTHDAY, EVERYONE!!!**  
Approximate Phonetic Chinese Version of “Happy Birthday”: (thanks, Nathan!)

“Guung juuk nay fook sow yuen teen tsai, hing hong nay sun sun fie lok. Leen leen doe yao gum yut, suuy doe yao gum jzew, guung hay nay! Guung hay nay!!!”

Approximate English Translation of Above:

“Congrats on this good day of fortune, where we can all gather together. Wishing you a very happy birthday. Every year, this wondrous day arrives; Always, this wondrous time comes. Congratulations! Congratulations!”  
Hope you have a good birthday, and a great year to come! 🙂

If you find out, let me know. I’m one year behind you.

I just e-mailed by sister and brother this morning and told them as depressing as turning 49 was, the saving grace is that I’m still younger than them.

Teeny little hijack, here -  
All year long, Ive been thinking that this coming birthday (which happens to be TODAY!) I was turning 38. Bemoaning it. Dwelling on it. Two years 'til 40. Etc.  
So I get a card from Mom. Mom says “Happy 37th!”  
My wife and myself scoff and roll our eyes. “Scoff! Scoff! Stupid Mom - doesn’t even know her own son’s age!”  
We look at each other.

We reach for the calculator…

I’m **37** today! YAY!

:wally
