Drew - good strategy! Ed - Thanks for the guess. Ok... it's the end of the night, it's 12:38PM PST right now as I type this and we have an answer. Drum roll please.... I'm 34 years old today! I'm too tired to get into the details of it all, but I opened my first store when I was 22 (July 1007) and I've always counted my business start from there. But I have a registered business when I was 20, which I never count. :-) I guess when I typed this blog post I did. That made me 17 (almost 18) when my first daughter was born, maybe you'll see now why I became an entrepreneur so early. :-) Oh...and the winner is Diana Walker.. Thanks Diana! I'll be sure to get the freebie over to you shortly. Angie – Oh wow thank you Angie for such a nice message.

Drew – good strategy!

Ed – Thanks for the guess.

So if I guess 43 -- and by some very strange fluke you really look that good at 43+ -- I automatically win because no one guessed higher! Happy Birthday! Drew Vera,

In 1997 you were 22. That means in 2009 you are 34, right? I think that was guess above as well. Oh well. Next time... ~ Steve, Pinnacle Trade Show Displays PS. I'm still confused about you being in business for 14 years if you started in 1997... do you do your own taxes too? :) PPS. This is reminding me of the question, if two trains leave two different stations and one is travelling 10 miles an hour faster than the other and the stations are two miles apart... ;) hi Vera,

That said, I think Bill gave the safe answer which is 21. :) ~ Steve, Pinnacle Trade Show Displays PS. My momma always told me to never answer a woman that asks you how old you think she is! Hi Vera,

You do look more like 22 or so though but that would make you 6 years old when you had your first child... that'd be a new record? :-) Happy birthday my 36 year old friend (and yes, that’s my guess and cuz I iz smart).
