Birthday!

On this day I have reached the ripe old age of 42.

This should mean that I now know the answers to Life, the Universe and Everything. However, since I was too busy goofing off to attain enlightenment, I guess I'll have to continue acting immature.

Neener!

My sister Jenny, who teaches sixth grade, called me up and had her entire class sing Happy Birthday to me. I'm delighted.

Also, in a very last-minute development, I'm participating in NaNoWriMo this year. I'm... ambivalent... about this. A friend talked me into it, and I went into it with absolutely no idea what I was going to write about, so I've been writing this stream-of-consciousness rambling about dead people. In all probability it's going to be a train wreck. Mostly I just want to see if I can do it. So cross your fingers for me; if the train wreck proves to be really amusing I may eventually post some of it.
