    Does this mean I clear my two marriages and divorces off my record because I wasn't sentient then?

      I tell everyone my 30s have been and promise to continue to be the best years of my life thus far. It could be denial, but I think it's the truth. ;) Happy Birthday!

          Getting old is the point! Besides, who says you can't write the book, then decide to write a dozen new and different books? :-D

              Well, I don't know about living say after the planet has been destroyed. But, I wouldn't mind a run stretching a few thousand years or so. :-D

                Eight minutes before I'm 31. 31. Thirty One. Thirty was a an indication of getting on, but thirty one... It means that you've now been there done it, wrote the book. You have past it. Mate, you are old.!:(
