Happy Birthday to Me

Today's been a lazy day at TAM Central. No, it's not a Packers-induced depression. Today's my birthday and I've been relaxing and taking it easy. If my partner-in-crime, the "other" Shawn wasn't knee-deep in a new job you might have more interesting items to read.

This is one of those milestone birthdays (I'll let you guess), but I'm not sure what to make of it. I don't feel any different. The world continues to turn and with me on it. I'm at an age where my life might have been quite different if I were born only a generation earlier. By the time my parents got to my age they had two young kids. Me, I'm not even seeing anyone to have kids with. I'm swimming in the Internet Age while my parents only had three channels of television. I'm not complaining. We all made choices, and I made mine.

Birthdays usually mean presents, and I guess I was a good enough boy to get some. From my sister came a gift fitting for the season and my political junkiness.

My parents have helped me with my recent fascination with wine. Last Christmas, I received a case of the vinous beverage. Today, I got something to store it in.

I think the professor would be pleased. (No, not that one.)

If you're in the giving mood there's my Amazon wish list. Even better, add TAM to your blogroll and bug Glenn Reynolds about doing the same.
