Dear Mom:

On Sunday it will be 23,741 days since I was born, to my Other Mom.
That's 101110010111101 in a binary system. If you are three-toed and slothful, it is 1012120022 in ternary. If you have only one hand it is 1224431 in quintal. If you're twice a square, then it is   56275 in octal, and if you an ubernerd the hex is 5CBD. It is also 2,051,222,400 seconds OR 34,187,040 minutes OR 569,784 hours of which I have spent about 130,00 wandering in dreamland.

My grandmother said I was nuffin' but a broiler. But what did she know? Look how I turned out!!! Well done!!!

You know what they say, Mom: you're only as old as you feel. I wish, though, that the damned clocks would stop arguing with me.
