49
I’m turning 49 years old today, which is odd because I often feel like I can’t be that old because I’m not that long out of high school. But the calendar says it’s true, so I guess I really am a year away from the half-century mark.
I ran some numbers in my head the other day and realized that today is not only my 49th birthday, but also the point where I’ve spent exactly half my life in the US. (I moved here in late May of 1996, when I was 24 1/2.)
Forty-nine years…don’t they go by in a blink? Except this year, that is. 2020 feels like it’s about six times longer than any other year I can remember in those 49 years.

Happy Birthday! 2020 counts as at least two years.
I hope there are good and happy things in the day for you. (This is my year of being the answer and... that's certainly been interesting, given everything.)
Happy Birthday, Mr. Kloos! Thank you for The Lankeys, and thank you SO much for The Palladium Wars - I'm so looking forward to that third installment (so hurry that along, please?!)!! :)Your works have brought me much joy, and I hope you realize just how much your books mean to some people. The escape from a dreary reality sometimes can be so welcome to some people. I know for myself, I have been going through some extremely difficult times, and having just gone through the two volumes of the Palladium Wars that are available, my only wish is that there were more to keep me entertained!
I wish you another wonderful 49 years... full of delivering novels to us greedy readers! :)
Just remember- Birthdays are only numbers.
Bigger and bigger numbers (which is a good thing)!
