50 today. no cards because there's a postal strike in london today - there's about one a week at the moment, i don't know why. i spent over 6 hours on site in a meeting, or series of meetings rolled together, until the security guard on the building chucked us all out. it was too late to go back to the office, so i went to st pauls tube station to go home. i always seem to end up working late on my birthday due to some project crisis - i think it just reflects the timing of building projects which happen in the summer. it's always frantic in the run up to christmas, too, but that is usually design or drawing work that has to be closed out by christmas so that a new phase can begin in january [to go on site in spring, to hit crises in august, etc etc].
so i never have time or energy in august to fix up birthday celebrations. i know it's going to be derailed by work.
Congrats and Happy Birthday. I'll supply a pint @ GB next week!

Steve - next year I will be more flush and will treat you to a beer. The older I get, the younger I feel (and some would say act). I think that's a good thing - my idol in this regard is Mike Yaconelli.
