So, yes, today is my birthday. And I'm owning my age - forty. Swamped with work and deadlines, I'll not wax poetic. I've been receiving little notes from people that don't know me except from my writing here and elsewhere; it's really sweet and deeply appreciated. There's just a deep feeling of gratitude in me today.
So, thanks world. I really didn't expect to be around this long. Sometimes it freaks me out that I still am.
Meanwhile, assorted "October 2" trivia and astrology after the jump.
