My Better Half was very good to me. One of my prezzies was an original Doug Ritter Special Edition Photon Freedom Micro. It is now attached to my Spyderco Jester.

I'm going to ask for a Mark II for my birthday, which is coming up in February. I'm reluctantly turning 45. As if I had a choice.

As my younger brother says, becoming a year older is far better than the alternative. Not getting older means you're dead -- or maybe a vampire. Not good news either way.
