65 Trips Around the Sun

As of today I have made 65 complete trips around the sun!  I have traveled approximately 38 billion miles on spaceship Earth.  The Earth does about 583 million miles a year in its annual journey around the sun; multiply that by 65 and I have traveled almost 38,000,000,000 miles since I arrived here. 

Today, July 4, 2011 is Aphelion, the one day a year in which the Earth is the farthest from the sun.  I don't know what its significance is to my life, but I experienced 65 of them so far.
