I’m turning 46 this year.

No, I have turned 46 this year.

I don’t really know how I feel about that. Well, other than maybe giving in to a little midlife crisis.

So, in the great tradition of middle-aged men who do somewhat crazy things to remind themselves of their youth and virility, I am giving myself two birthday presents this year:

• I’m going back to school (“Uni”, for my European friends)
• I’m applying for U.S. Citizenship
