On Dec 1st (send cards!) I will be 46. Due to an odd lifetime habit, I often report my age as one year older than it really is - so I had to think about it. In any case, I was born Dec 1st 1961. ---

[QUOTE=DJ Motorbike] 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. [/QUOTE] Like **Jodi** said, that’s not such a long stretch at all. I just turned **37** a few weeks ago, but I still think I’m 31. ---
