A cube no longer, but now I am perfect.

Happy Birthday to me! (Well, actually as I type this my birthday has passed but whatever)

So I am no longer a cubic age. But 28 is even better! It is both a triangular number (a number found by adding consecutive numbers) and, much more rare, a perfect number (a number that is the sum of its factors). You'll be perfect at most twice in your life-- at 6 and 28 (unless you are Methuselah, then you'd hit 496). I had better take advantage of this perfect year as 30 is looming pretty closely... and then it is all downhill from there.
