Threes at 33

Well this week sees me celebrating my 33rd birthday, I have to say I think multiples of 11 are far more interesting to celebrate than multiples of 10, but doubt I could convince everyone else.  Birthdays are a good time for morose navel gazing and taking stock of ones life.  Some noteworthy threes I have acheived by my third endecade.

  • Fathered three children (thanks to Mrs Robinson's cooperation)
  • Been a pastor in three churches in three different towns/cities
  • Lived on three different islands: mainland Orkney, mainland Britain, and Te Ika-a-Māui
  • Completed three tertiary quatlifications: BMus (Hons), GradDippAppTheol, MTh


So the question is will any of those threes be fours by the time I make it to 44? (D.V.)
