A very good point of view! Of course this means Shaun is just three years
into his adult life - wheee!

As one who has made the transition, I can tell you from the other side
that there is nothing to worry about. The only noticeable difference is
the rapidly increasing number of people congratulating you and showing
up at your birthday party for every multiple of 5 years. Probably some
kind of exponential that leads to a birthday singularity somewhere in
the middle of the century (beyond that we will need M-brain party
systems. Hmm, Robert, do you think the missing mass in the universe is
presents? :-)

Congratulations to James and Shaun!
