35

Thirty-five is the atomic number for bromine. It is divisible by 1, 5, 7, and 35...and it is a tetrahedral number as well as a pentagonal number, but now the math is just going over my head. 35 mm film is a standard in both photography (pre-digital, of course) and film (as in cinema).

It is the minimum age of candidates for the United States Presidency, which means I shall be announcing my platform as soon as I've completed a successful first lesson in my new job today...for yes, today, aside from being the first day as choir director, is also my 35th birthday.

Happy Birthday to Meeeee!! Here's wishing for a Wild (in the best possible way) and Absolutely True year as I soldier on towards 36.

With my brother, Aaron, in 1978.
