Thanks for all the "well wishes,." I'm playing hooky from work today.

Not really, I'm taking my "Personal Day" (our contract with the company gives us one day of our choice a year in addition to the normal holidays), I told my boss that I was taking it because this will be the last time I can take my birthday off.
If you are trying to figure out exactly how old I am, just determine the age of dirt and add one day.
Love you all,
TW
