HBD, Hank. Do something fun, like drilling a hole in a can of black powder, sticking a fuse in it and lighting it and see what happens. Preferably, do this away from people and buildings. And make the fuse long enough so you can get out of the blast zone. I'd probably fill the can with sand and give it a bit of compression as well.
And remember, on your birthday, candy, cookies, cake and ice cream do not have any calories, so you can eat as much as you want without worrying about calories.
