Thanks to Derek for reminding me of my birthday, a day spent with the present Mrs T, listening to David Bowie records from my youth.  'Changes' and 'Life on Mars' seem perennially relevant.  To quote the Stones, `What a drag it is getting old.'  Yet as I sat last night drinking a glass of Mad Elf and contemplating the long-predicted crisis in world capitalism (I told you so!!!) with the dude known simply in the dark and dangerous theological underworld as `The Librarian,' I found myself praying the same simple prayer that I always do on my birthday: `Lord, let me finish well.'
