Right. Anyway, Steve turns 54 Tuesday, February 24th, and we hope he's celebrating in style, possibly with vegetarian lasagna and some sort of pescetarian cake (they don't have to have fish in them, right?). Personally, I like to imagine him, beturtlenecked and in jeans--perhaps with fuzzy bunny slippers replacing his usual sneakers--giving a keynote presentation to his friends and family, updating them on the status of Steve over the last quarter, and explaining to them all the new features that come with turning 54 ("And then your knees just give out--boom.")

Seriously though, we hope Steve is taking his time off to rest, recuperate, and finish tagging all the faces and locations in his iPhoto '09 library. That way he can return fit and in fighting form sometime this summer. After all, somebody needs to keep Phil Schiller from wandering around the halls of 1 Infinite Loop, desperately giving product demos to anybody he can corner.

That's just how he copes.
