I would have a similar answer, apart from the age...I'm almost 35.

But your use of the number 37 reminds me of Monty Python and the Holy Grail, when Dennis says "I'm only 37--I'm not 'old'!"

"Well, it wouldn't be right to just call you 'man'..."
"You could have called me 'Dennis'!"
"I didn't know you were called Dennis!"
"Well, you didn't bother to find out, neither!"

And so forth...!?!

I think about that skit ALL THE TIME since I turned 37. Seriously.

Indeed...!

Unfortunately, there's no such thing for 34. Except Rule #34. However, being 34 at present, I know there's no internet porn site for alfrecht at age 34...so, I suppose that's something. ;)

Yet. Some of your friends might choose to treat this as a challenge.

37 is a great age. Also, you're the second friend of mine today to tell me that they are 37. I am also 37. Now I'm starting to wonder if we were all born in January...

I like 37 more and more. I was born in July, though.

Okay, pretend I said, "I'm beginning to wonder if we were all born in months that begin with a J..."

You know, 37 has been mixed. I'm not displeased, necessarily. I'm certainly doing very well and am successful and feeling secure about my life and all that. But I've had a couple of awesome ages where I looked back and said, 'That was a good year.' I thought I was 26 for a long time, then for awhile I was stuck on 33. I'm past thinking I'm 33, but I have to think for a second about how old I am right now. 37 doesn't seem to fit. Odd, huh? I wonder what the next really cool year is going to be...
