It was my 29th birthday and I decided to go bar hopping with my friend (what a surprise). Decided the theme of the night should be Logan's Run for obvious reasons. Went to Michael's Arts and Crafts, got some palm-sized round crystals in both red and clear with a few Ankhs for good measure. We stuck the crystals in the palms of our hands with doublestick tape. Anyone my age got red, over 30 I let them Renew.
So we're at the Three of Clubs chatting away with various people and no one knew what the deal was with the crystals. We had to explain it to strangers a half dozen times, and then they'd get this kinda flicker of recognition across their faces, "oh yeah..."
So a group of guys came up to chat with us - actually my friend Steph cause guys were always going up to chat with Steph. Anyway, they turned out to be friends of David's. David sees that his friends are talking to a couple girls so he comes over.
I say to him "Hi" and raise my hand in a friendly wave. Not even hearing any of the conversation we'd been having with his buddies, he sees my palm and says to me "What are you, 29?"

if it weren't for Logan's Run, I wouldn't have met my husband.
Well, that demands an explanation.
Okay - here's the story...
