He is now numerically the same age as I am, for about a week. Then I yet again jump ahead.
He’s 53.
That’s FIFTY-THREE, folks!
FIFTY-THREE!!!!!
I love seeing that.
Oh, sorry about forgetting the day (I’m now gainfully employed, so time is of the essence). Many happy returns of the day, oh FIFTY-THREE YEAR OLD…
Mere children, the both of you.
Happy birthday, ChemistPanda!
Very kind of you to notice, m’dear, and thank you so much for your kind thoughts.
Is 53 a good age? I only ask because you’ve got 358 days more experience of it than moi. Is all this enthusiasm for 53 because you’re about to leave it? nostalgia in advance?
I’m looking forward to it, and congratulations from my friends is ALWAYS welcome. thank you.
Any age is OK as long as you wake up all 365 (366 in Leap Year) days of it.
53 will be a prime year, I assure you.
Yeah, the year of my heart attack and foot infection.
Also the year of my civil partnership.
Hehehe. My current age is the product of a prime and a square, as will be (presuming Good Things, natch) my next age.
I can’t remember how old you are, and I don’t think I feel like doing the necessary math…
Oh, wait a minute… Yeah, knowing approximately how old you are makes this one pretty easy.
Let me put it this way: in January, it’ll be 5 years since you passed on to David Fenton and myself the wisdom of your mother, about how turning 40 relieved one of the responsiblity to Be Young. :-}}}}
Yeah, the year of my heart attack and foot infection.
Also the year of my civil partnership
hmmm – I’m not sure this is encouraging me to look forward to the rest of the year…
my “born on this day” horoscope was rapturous about the year ahead, but aren’t they always?
I had, in fact, arrived at this very conclusion.
