A prime birthday

Glenn will be proud of me. If I am correct, my new age is a prime number. Today I turn 43, a prime number (right, Glenn?), and since I determined that I have only 8 years left to live, I decided to accept Glenn's challenge to do two memes (rhymes with scheme). The music meme was fun, but the seven meme was depressing given the short amount of time I have left--and not one 45 turned into a wall clock (I have over 1,000 of them).

Since birthdays are as celebratory as they are reflective, I used the little brain matter not taxed by my day job and beer to spread the contagion for what it's worth. However, the infectiousness may peter out here, since I'm not even sure there are 7 bloggers who read my blog.
