Life, the universe, and everything

Since I guess the secret is out, yeah, yesterday was my birthday. 42. The answer to life, the universe, and everything. What you get when you multiply six times nine. Women half my age can get into bars now.
Life being as hectic as it is, the celebrations are happening in fits and starts. Post-Little-League ice cream with the ‘rents last night, opened my first present (“Kids in the Hall” season 1 on DVD) and had some fake champagne. Tonight I get cake and maybe another present. Friday I get sushi. No word on whether the sushi will be served on a naked chick half my age who is old enough to drink, but one can always hope.

    To you, sir, a hearty “We’ll drink, and drink, and drink, and drink, and drink, and drink and fight!” Or not.

    Hey – perhaps Slartibartfast can help us refashion our coastline. Fjords would be lovely and so practical . . .

    Nobody knows the question. That’s part of the joke.

    The next person who wants to “correct my math” and thus destroy any shred of geek cred they might have once had should read this:

    Happy belated birthday, sweetie!!!! *mwah!*
    I just turned 40 last Tuesday. Urg. At least no body parts have fallen off, which I consider a positive thing.
