When I was in my thirties, I had a birthday without realizing it. Seriously. I woke up the next day and realized that my birthday had been yesterday.

This almost happened this time around. I turned 56 on June 9. I forgot to tell the kids. Kat was traveling on an intense job project (about 14 hours a day) that did not even give her time to stay in the hotel. I still need to put this into the OL calendar so it did not show up here.

I sat here contentedly working on my studies and projects and the day simply went by. My birthday present from reality was being productive and happy.

So, in the spirit of selfishness and the best within me, happy belated birthday to me!

May I live to be 1,000!

I rock!

Michael, you've about covered it all. What's left to say?

Except...happy birthday!

You're old, Michael! But have a very happy birthday -- and month -- and year -- and life, anyway.

You do indeed rock!

Michael; Is this your birthday? If so have a very good one. You and Kat have one of my favorite web sites that I visit many times a day. Chris Grieb

You rule. Happy Birthday!!

Happy Birthday!

Happy birthday to you!

Michael,

Happy birthday!

And 56 isn't old... I tell myself, a month away from turning 55...

Its inspiring to see someone who has such a commitment to honesty in introspection and rationality about the world that MSK has.

That's all, I'm trying to think of a good metaphor here but...

Happy Birthday again man.

A lot of kids on this list...

Definitely agree! I'm two months away from turning 55.

Happy birthday, old timer.

Happy belated birthday, sweetie. Sorry I was out of town on your big day. I really missed you.
Luckily, in our house birthdays last about 2 weeks and everyone gets presents. We'll do some celebrating this weekend.

Thank you everybody.

Oodles of love for all.

Oodles and oodles and oodles of love for Kitten.

Michael

MSK,

I hope you enjoyed your birthday and will enjoy many more.

Happy Birthday, Michael! You do rock.

If I'd have known it was your birthday I'd have made the thread, since nobody should have to make their own B-day thread.

Hope you had a great one.
