Thank you for the kind thoughts guys. While I genuinely appreciate your kindness for thinking of me, this celebration is one to think twice about. My wife and I don't actually celebrate our birthdays on account of its origin; although we like to give gifts at other times throughout the year.
I ran across this article about birthdays, and thought you may find it interesting...

On top of the unsavory origin of the celebration - it's also a sad reminder that I'm getting OLD. As if my reflection in the mirror isn't reminder enough of that LOL. I was doing a full day of cleaning on Saturday and I came completely face to face with the fact that I'm not as young as I used to be - I was a sore boy when I got done
Thank you again though for thinking of me.
