I hit 35 today!! and in better shape than a lot of 20 year olds! and just to share my good feeling with my brethren on Bladeforums, here's the deal: i promise, although it will be hard, to eat a slice of cake for each and every one of you! now to see if my wife is done baking it! big surprise is my wife bought me something i really, really like and it's not a knife! it's something that goes with the Asian theme i have in my corner of our bedroom. of course, i bought a knife for myself as a b-day gift! just had to have an excuse to do it! Ken Onion Random Task, YEAAAAHHH BABEEEEE!!! the only sucky part is i have to work this weekend on my birthday and Christmas weekend as well. and may have to go in New Year's weekend for Y2K coverage (all night shifts!). so i better get to work on that cake!
