Woke up today & thought I was 39.

Did the math on the way in to work, still 37 for 3 more months.  
Life just keeps getting better (how could it not!).

I would assume your birthday is within 2-3 weeks of today?

Haha, **Inigo** - I spent about a year thinking I was 38 when I was really _only_ 37.

A nice surprise, really.

Very good 😃 My birthday is April 10th, which was Easter the year I was born. Those things together put me two Easters ahead of most people my age.
