Yes, I'm 100 years old today.
If, as Tom Lehrer put it, you're missing two fingers.
100₈, that'd be. 2⁶, like.
Household circumstances (father, various livestock, and other assorted responsibilities) don't allow for much in the way of celebration, but we had a slightly-above-average dinner, and Joy is busily concocting a cake.
Cake soon, then winding down. Got a busy Monday, with two phone meetings, maybe the oven finally getting delivered, and all the usual weekday stuff.
What 100? You birthday? Well happy birthday if it is!
(I suspect I'm missing something here but I do wish you luck in the oven department!)

Yup, birthday yesterday. One year to the mandatory change of health plan. (Planning to hold off a couple of additional years before collecting on Social Security.)
I decided to go with a Tom Lehrer reference rather than Beatles.
Hey, in hexadecimal I'm only 40....
Waiting to hear from the vet again; one of the middle-aged cats we adopted a bit over a year ago has been off his feed lately, and it turns out he's having a serious health crisis (which he'd mostly been hiding).

They start charging you for Medicare the month you turn 65, I'm not sure how that works if you don't have a SS payment to take that out of...but you'll have a better idea of how that works this time next year!
I started my SS on my 62nd birthday, I was already retired and could use the money.
It's Tues the 19th as I type this, did the oven make it?

Still no oven; things got weird again. Update later this morning.

Happy belated birthday, and I'm sorry about the kitty.
