28

• The postal code of the province of Madrid in Spain.
• The number of dominoes in standard domino sets.
• The age of Brandon Lee, Heath Ledger, and Big Pun when they died.  
• Approximately the number of grams in an ounce, and used as such in the illegal drug trade.
• The standard number of days spent by celebrities in a rehabilitation facility.
• How old I will be on Saturday. 

I will be celebrating my two-years-away-from-30th birthday out in the desert, shooting guns and drinking beer and sleeping under the stars. And I couldn't have asked for a better way to spend it.

Happy birthday to me!
