I wanted to blog about my birthday last Saturday but I hestitated. I have already restructured my main blog to just focus on finance topics. Ditto for my other blogs, which have their own niches. This looks like my only blog where I could talk about birthdays and (hopefully) get away with it, so here goes:
The best birthdays of all are those that haven't arrived yet. -Robert Orben

And how each time the day comes round,
Less and less white its mark appears.
