2 months and 17 days until my 27th birthday.

I think \*\*KlondikeGeoff \*\* is the oldest Doper. I don’t know who the youngest is, though.

Okay, I don’t get this…

I’m also 19, and I’m pretty sure whoever had the title of Youngest Doper is over 15 by now.

I like to point out that 31, my age in years, is a prime number. It’s another long stretch to 37 after that, so I’m taking advantage of it while it lasts.

Damn, girl, you look young!

I’ll be 46 in a week.

The youngest is **Captain Socks** , at 13 (or maybe 14). The oldest is **David Simmons** at 85.

Happy birthday, **twickster**!
