Happy New Year to you, too, BB.
Umm, I'm just gonna say "no, it's not my birthday in a few weeks ... and no, I'm not turning 30".
Just because.
(Oh okay, it is my birthday later this month. Yikes, 30...)
The next person remembers their 30th birthday and will kindly tell me what to expect over the next decade.
