Yes, I’ve reached the grand old age of 35, which I reckon is half the allotted span that’s dealt out to most of us.

That’s a bit depressing.

Not as depressing as it being pointed out to me on the phone by my mum this morning that she was my age when she had me and at that point she also had three daughters aged between 9 and 13.

Yikes.

Anyway, I don’t think I’ve done badly in the past 35 years;

- have a beautiful wife;
- have a baby due in the next few weeks;
- have a great family;
- have an awesome dog;
- have some great friends;
- traveled to Australia, New Zealand and across the US, and various other places;
- wrote a book (unpublished);
- wrote a screenplay(unpublished);
- wrote a comic;
- wrote another comic;
- wrote a whole bunch of other stuff;
- have a job which, although I may hate, allows me to provide for the first four above, and generally I work with some pretty cool people.

So yes, all over I’d say I’m a pretty lucky guy.
