Well, in that case, Happy Birthday!!
"Beddian Birthday" - new vocab word for me!
I think this means I am called upon to make some inferences and do a math problem. Hmm.

The way to despair is to refuse to have any kind of experience, and the novel, of course, is a way to have experience."

Probably not quite the spin Menolly may have intended, but the [Ding Ding Ding] right answer for those of a inquiring and numerate disposition.
Well played!
Her revised avatar makes it clearer what this is about; the year in which your attained age equals the two-digit year of your birth. Mine was in 2014.

57 then, if I'm getting this right? I guessed 60 for Menolly but then changing the avatar confirmed it.Savor Dam wrote:

So mine will be 2042 (if I have worked it out correctly) - that's way too far away!

I need someone to explain it to me like I'm 5...

I was born in 1964. So I take the last two digits [64] and add those digits [64] to 1964 to discover my Beddian birthday.
In which case mine will be in 2028
1964 [take last two digits >>64]
+64
2028
hope that helps HLT

Not every person is going to understand you and that's okay. They have a right to their opinion and you have every right to ignore it.

Other than the drinking rum part, which doesn't happen anymore due to my bleeding duadenal ulcer I had last year after surgery, lounging and reading on the beach was done in my middle school and high school years growing up in Hollywood, FL.
For me, doing such is over rated. But thanks for the thought!

I'd happily do it in your place 
As far as I know, I don't have a duodenal, gastric, peptic, esophageal or any other type of ulcer (yes, I just googled "types of ulcers"...) so I'll give it a crack. Wayfriend, are you happy to pay for my plane ticket? I'll buy the rum...

I'm sure he will, but you have to wait until it's YOUR Beddian birthday, StevieG.

Looks like I'll have to start saving for a plane ticket if you give me a plain ticket... but I'll accept it if that's what you can offer
Ok, I'll pop back here in 22 years and see if anyone is still alive (including me) to celebrate my beddian birthday

For my Beddian birthday, SD is treating me to a week on the Central California coast. Today was spent driving along California Highway 1, the Pacific Coast Highway, between San Simeon and Marina. Just north of San Simeon and Hearst Castle is the Point Piedras Blancas Rookery for elephant seals along six miles of beach coves just south of the Piedras Blancas light station.
Out to sea there are rock formations. There was one in particular which makes me think of a stone cottage shaped by the Unhomed.
