Two days ago I finally reached the ultimate geek age symbolizing the Answer to The Ultimate Question Of Life, the Universe and Everything. Douglas Adams is a hero of mine.
As a kid nine o’clock was my bedtime. The great thing was that I had a little radio and Monday and Tuesday night there were radio plays and I would lay in my warm bed and listen to them.
The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy came alive in my dark room more than anything else. I still smile just thinking about these late nights.
The best wife of all organized a babysitter and whisked me away to a great night out.
The sunset over the Golden Gate Bridge to the left was taken from the Bank of America building. Life is good.

CONGRATS Mark!!!
Are you talking about the great SWR1 radio series back in the days? I remember listening to that one in bed as well – only years later did I find out who wrote it. Man, we’re getting old….
Hi Frank, Exactly, back then of course it was SWF1 and SDR1 one on Monday and one on Tuesday. I was always a bit bummed when it was one of the other days.
The other highlights were 1984 and The adventures of Phillip Marlow.
Oh yes we are getting old, but we have stories to tell :-)
Sweet, Mark.
Wow. Congratulations. And you were born 8 years and day before me. Here’s a little sum for you (3 * 6 ) + (3 * 6 ) = 36.
I grew up on the radio plays aswell and the TV series and the books. Still haven’t seen the movie yet. I caught glimpses and thought the TV series was better. The radio plays are the best. Did you catch the quintissential phase last year? Its on CD now.
Happy Birthday and enjoy being the answer to everything!
regards,
Nigel
