This year, I tweaked the code a little bit.
if(day==18 && month==7)
{
// Nelson Mandela and I are celebrating some magic today
bigGuy.age++;
Mandela.age++;
if (Mandela.age == 91)
{
// Nelson Mandela just turned 91!
// I seem to be moving closer to his age
}
if (bigGuy.age <= 31)
{
// This year, reset to 21.
bigGuy.age = 21;// Now, it is time to figure out all the things I can now do since I had reached this age.
}
}
Just like last year – please, please… NO BIRTHDAY PRESENTS!!!!!
I am playing it old school this year and will not allow anyone to throw a party like 12 months ago. I plan to do something I have not done for many-many years – Visit a Zoo!!!
What have I done so far today?
- I ran 3.1 miles (I did a timed run for 2.1 miles and reserved the extra mile for less intense run)
- I did some yard work: I cut my lawn, trimmed some hedges, watered plants around; One of my neighbors up’ed their game this year, and had some landscapers do some amazing works on their yard (it cost them a few thousand dollars!!!!!). I think they got sad that I had the best green-and-well groomed yard on the street.
- I continued doing laundry (It is laundry weekend) again from last night [Washing machine has been running since morning; the dryer is still churning]
- My mommy called me to wish me happy birthday – It still melts me when she still remembers and calls me on those special occassions “I love you mommy!!!”.
What does the rest of the day look like?
I need to go and take a shower now.
I am heading to the Zoo – Woodland park
.
Maybe I will have a cocktail in the evening – Grey Goose + Sweet vermouth (brown) + bombay saphire + a little triple sec + angostura bitters + lemon juice + ice
[This has been my new mix; portion sizes are a secret; right balance makes amazing cocktail; shaken not stired] <- I need to come up with a name for this mix. PK thinks it is a little too strong for a cocktail trying to be in the martini zone – my response “The secret is in the right mix”.
Happy birthday me.
