Birthdays and aging

Today is my birthday.

I managed to remain 28 for several years -- so many that I would have to think for a moment about my real age, when called on in situations where I had to be truthful. I continued to be 28 until it was no longer believable, and then I moved up to 32. So now I will stick with 35 for a while as an homage to the below Wilde quote:

Thirty-five is a very attractive age. London society is full of women of the very highest birth who have, of their own free choice, remained thirty-five for years.

-Oscar Wilde
