I’ve spent my 30th birthday so far solving the ultra-tough five star Sudoku puzzle from Michael Mepham of SudokuList.com which I’ll admit took me awhile to work through. It ate up most of the hour I got back from the Daylight Savings time rollback. Todays plans include football, cake and general relaxation. Yesterday we celebrated with friends and family, with my wife Nicole treating us to a Thanksgiving-esque offering of turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes and plenty of cakes and pastries. Mmm. I received some great gifts such as two much-needed new CDs (I’ve been desperate for new music) which I’m enjoying as we speak. It was hard to wait for everyone else to wake up…I like to listen to my music looooud.

Per tradition, I always check my birthday horoscope, the only day of the year I peek into the future. So here is the general forcast for myself, Richard Dreyfuss, Winona Ryder and some thousand other lucky people who share my birthday…

When a Quarter Moon occurs in your Return chart, as it does this year, you are at some sort of a turning point in your life, in terms of personal growth. Events that occur this year act as catalysts that get you in touch with some important issues in your emotional life…Around the time of your birthday this year, the Sun conjuncts both Venus and Mars. This configuration indicates that personal magnetism runs very high this year, and that this has the potential for being an especially creative year.

We’re planning some big things for 2007! We’ve been preparing lots of new strategy guides, some of which have been in research for over two years, and are just about ready to launch them. Alright, I’m off to partake of turkey leftovers and the much anticipated self-induced tryptophan haze.
