One of the biggest oddities about me it is that I can wait through most any situation to get the right lighting, angle, moment, etc. for a photograph, yet I can’t stand having a wrapped present in front of me for any prolonged period of time. In fact as a kid I used to surgically open gifts around the holidays to see what was being given and then methodically rewrapping and taping them back up. Having come clean about this with family and my wife I am now never trusted alone with gifts. Doh! With my birthday soon approaching I’m trying to keep busy so that I don’t give into my urges of ripping open idle presents on the kitchen table. Oh the torture…

With the title, I was expecting it to have something to do with the running time of a movie.
Happy birthday, Jim! Good luck surviving the suspense ’til then 😛
