Well, it's [mostly-]official! 09/20/2018 10:34 AM CDT
As nearly as I can make out from perusing my old time sheets, I started in GemStone either the second week (6-10) of September, or the fourth week (20-24) of September, 1993.
So: twenty five years. Half my life (turned 50 earlier this month).

.

About the only other thing of equally prominent statistic is Philmont hiking. The first thirteen years don't even count (cannot attend until age 14); at age 39 (so, 25 years of "possible") I had hiked 10 times; 40%.

Do you mean you're older than Robert?

What's terrifying to me is what percentage of the planet's population is younger than Krakii (i.e. "NOT Robert")....

Krakii's younger then I thought.... you're supposed to have another 5-10 years in you before you make me wait for Jeopardy to be over to ensorcell your runestaff....

Hey! <poke>

In my defense, that one, I just, uhhh, well... forgot. <cough>

But the other time, I can legitimately claim that I, uhhh, <cough> fell asleep....
