Happy Birthday to Me

Dictionary.com's word of the day is foofaraw, the second meaning of which sums up most birthdays. But not this one, because it's mine and I'm 42.

In fact, what could be more important than my birthday? Not that Wikipedia cares — they note that NHL player Sylvain Turgeon was born on 1/17/65, but they have heartlessly omitted my entrance into this mortal coil.

But regardless of the lack of public accolades, I relish the knowledge that for this, my 42nd year, I am the answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything. If I play my cards right, I might get a couple of free drinks at the pub out of that.
