42.

Yesterday, I turned 42.  That's a pretty big number.  I'm pleased as punch to be even again.  There's something unsettling about being odd, something... odd.

On the way to school a couple of days ago, we had this conversation -

Me:      You know, Chris, tomorrow's my birthday.
Chris:  Yes, Mommy, it is.  And I think 42 is going to be a very special year for you.
Me:      It is?  Why?
Chris:  Because last year in Marching Band, I was number 42.  Plus, 42 is the secret to the universe, according to The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.  I don't exactly know what that means, but it must be something cool.

Looking forward to a very special year...
