Ding 52

Posted on by Marko Kloos

It’s my birthday today. I am celebrating reaching level 52 Human by watching some shows I’ve been meaning to catch up on, taking my new OLED Switch for a spin, going for a walk to enjoy the last of the October sun, and avoiding anything that looks even remotely like work.

October 25 facts: today is the anniversary of the Battle of Agincourt, and the Battle of Balaclava (of Tennyson’s Charge of the Light Brigade fame.) It seems like there aren’t too many days in the year where there isn’t an anniversary of some event where people killed each other in large numbers for faith, land, loot, or glory…

Another lesser-known fact about this day is that I share a birthday with my mother, which means I have no excuse to forget hers.

Anyway, off to do nothing for the rest of the day. Tomorrow I’ll get back to work on the Frontlines novella, and you’ll see that progress bar moving again.

  2. Three others with the same birthday:
    – Leo G. Carrol, actor, best known as Mr. Waverly the boss in The Man from UNCLE
    – Minnie Pearl, comedian and singer
    – Me!

    Anyway, it’s a small club, and you’re in it. Happy birthday to you and your mom!

  9. Happy Birthday to you and your mom! Mom’s birthdays are special. My mom had two birthdays, three months apart (long story). I sent her birthday cards for both of them every year and she loved it. Hope you have a wonderful, relaxing day, Marko. You deserve it!

  10. Congratulations, and many more in great health and happiness. Then back to the grindstone };-)

  11. Take the day. Relax. It’s good for you. And since it’s October/birthday, have a beer to celebrate.

  13. Many happy returns on the day! May you and your mother have a great day. I hope 52 is a brilliant year. Very much looking forward to your next offerings.

  16. A toast to health and long life! I’ll be celebrating my birthday in a week. Here’s to powerful Scorpios!

  17. Felicitous Natal Anniversary! It’s a nice fall day here in NH, get out and enjoy the weather.
