Hey, I just turned 40 years old. I wasn’t always sure that I would make it.

Since you are obviously fishing for a happy birthday, I will oblige;
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

thanks.
Actually, I’ve been staring at an empty screen for several hours and finally realized I have nothing to say tonight.
Have fun pondering the fact you’re only 1/3rd through with this adventure we call life! 🙂
HB!

saw that one nearly 3 years ago…
I’m with you…beforehand, I wondered if I’d ever see it. Now that it’s come and gone, I wonder where it went.
Screw it….go rent a gimme-a-ticket red Porche and run around your neighborhood at high speed for the weekend….then tell your neighbors you were only getting that ‘midlife crisis’ crap outta your system….
Happy birthday!!
Happy birthday!
Hey, only the good die young. Happy Birthday. And congrats also on lil’ Boo. I’ll be right behind you on that front. I’m already tearing up the Amazon message boards on whether parents have the right to indoctrinate their children into their religion and whether the Santa Claus myth is a good lie to tell children. Fun stuff . . .
The Santa Claus & religious indoctrination by parents is definitely a serious consideration.
Only the young die good.
Us older dudes have lost the “good” for the most part.
Speaking for myself, obviously.
Little Boo? Did I miss something a while back?…
Anyways, happy birthday Booman! Hope all is well.

I could write a diary about the ill-affects of the Santa Claus Myth… Summary: Don’t do it; it’s bad.
Dude… you’re old!
Seriously though, happy birthday.
Happy Birthday and may you have many more! We may have our differences on US foreign policy but I always enjoy engaging with you and your blog. I hope all goes well for you.
As I said in the cafe, 40 is a piece of carrot (with carrots I hope) cake. Enjoy!
And it’s Rosh Hashanah at sunset, so you can add a New Year’s celebration to the party by cutting an apple into slices, dipping them into honey, and wishing each other a good and sweet year.
And Shana Tova to all.
Happy Birthday!
Happy Birthday, Booman!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
Have a Happy Mid-Life Crisis! The next ten years could be the best in your life!
Happy birthday Boo. Of course to some of us, you’re still an old fellow, but to me – an awesome young man.
Ah, life!
Celebrate until you drop.
And Happy Birthday.
Happy birthday fellow geezer!
Happy Bday Booman, I hope you kicked back some celebratory tasty beverages.
I hope you have a great birthday and 40 is not old, I call it phase 2 of my life, I am now on phase 3 which is 60+ and after a life of thinking I would not make it to any and every age, I now think I might make it to phase 4, starting date to be determined.
So have a great birthday and many, many more. The little boo will make it possible to regenerate.
vivat REX!
(Happy Birthday)
Happy belated Birthday, BooMan! The looming milestones get even more difficult to believe.
Congrats on the young’un, too.
