27

It's my birthday! But don't buy me a present, buy a copy of Heads in the Sand for yourself. Amazon's now pairing it with Ron Paul's book, so you know it's got to be good. Or something. Also -- reading/Q&A this evening at Politics and Prose, 5PM. All things considered, I thought 26 was one of my top years. I'm pretty sure my dad once advised me to get married by the time I was 27 or I'd be bald by then, but I think I've still got a couple of good years left in me.
