I am ...

... 27 years old today, being born on the 27th of March 1983 at Karen Grech Hospital, Malta.

Yes, it is my lucky birthday.

Did I every have any plans for this day? Well, you know, when you are a teen, you make a few plans or rather have a few dreams.  I said that at 27, I'd probably be old enough to be married, and maybe have a kid or two.  Wishful thinking.

I am not at that stage, but let's say, I am getting close.

First step: looking for a home for Baanisuu and myself.

Chile quake moves city more than 10 feet

When I read this article on CNN.com, I was really amazed!

Conception moved ... at least 10 feet to the west and the capital, Santiago, about 11 inches to the west-southwest

What is even astounding is the following:

NASA scientists have also credited the quake with shifting the Earth's axis enough to create shorter day ... 1.26 microseconds shorter

Not much, but still ... wow!!!
