My birthday has come and gone and still no baby. I was hoping that she would be born on that day but alas and alack, no go. The Wife and I have started to resign ourselves to the fact that despite all of the fun practice contractions, The Girl will not be showing up any time soon. The Wife and I have developed the stares that prisoners give each other. We are resigned to a fate we cannot change.
The Birthday was good though. I am now 31, but care very little about the number. I think it is slightly more significant that the light from 61 Ursae Majoris will be reaching us very soon. According to wikipedia we are 31.1 ish lightyears from that star meaning that in something like 1.2 months light from it from when I was born will reach us. Memory Alpha tells us that the NX-01 was sent to investigate the star close up and one of the planets in the system is named for Johnathan Archer, Archer IV.
I like measuring time in Light Travel time.
