I got my first birthday card today. Somehow, seeing that number in big bold font is a whole different thing to saying it. Fifty. 50. Whole different feeling.

When I first met my wife, way back in the last century, we used to talk about the day, sometime far off in the future. She predicted we'd have lots of kids. And I'd be quite distinguished. One out of two ain't bad.

It won't be long now. Hope my teeth don't suddenly fall out.
