I want to thank everybody for the well wishes. I was dreading this birthday, but it was actually enjoyable. At the risk of sounding all wimpy and such, today reinforced the fact that I'm a very blessed person in that I'm surrounded with special people both in person and in cyberspace. What more can you ask for?
At work, my co-workers gave me a cake, many cards, and a lot of 'grief' for being over the hill. After work, I went out to Raod Warior's shop and was gifted with a Padron 1964 that was promptly and enjoyably torched. At home, my better half gave me a bottle of Macallan 18 year old sherry cask single malt scotch. I'm enjoying some of that right now.
All in all, a good birthday.
