I just hit 33. My wife would say 'pff...he's still 15'.

The day you get old is the day you stop laughing at the whoopee cushion gag. I don't mean giggling...I mean that deep down, I-can't-help-it laughing.

Thanks everyone. Having a great birthday so far. My degree came in the mail a couple weeks ago. I never knew it did because my wife hid it and then framed it for me. Great surprise.
The best gift of all came 2 days ago when my wife's pregnancy test came up positive!! Yahoo!
