It’s my birfday! I turn 36 today, which doesn’t seem particularly milestone-ish. I received some great cards and gifts from family and friends, for which I’m thankful. And I got myself some neat presents, too (including a MacBook Pro
Corollary to my birthday, we have the annual “Will Dad forget to give me a call?” vigil, which then leads to the annual “Over/Under bet on how many days it takes him to realize he missed my birthday” contest. (Hint: my brother’s birthday is 34 days from now, which tends to remind Dad that he forgot something.)
Anyway, I have no special plans for the day itself. Amy & I are going out to a nice (read: fantastic) dinner on Saturday, but I’ll be grinding out the Jan/Feb issue in the office today. Still, I got in some morning-yoga and also listened to a couple of my favorite records: Ted Hawkins
Now it’s time for some Sam Cooke
Happy birfday! Just for you, Giada pictures!

Happy Birhday “Sonny Boy” …… you’ll have to wait another 50 minutes or so for your birthday call (from Mum at least) since I always try to time it at 10:41 a.m. eastern time – THE moment – ah yes, i remember it well …….. and as for milestones, from where I’m standing EVERY birthday is a milestone, so enjoy whatever you have planned – love always – MUM
HAPPY BIRTHDAY !!!!!!!!!!
I will have a martini today in your honor!
Cheers

Just remember, with life expectancies what they are nowadays, we’re not even close to middle age yet! Happy happy, and celebrate your wonder and wisdom as it increases with each passing year.
Love,

….. and by the way, Gil, thirty-six actually IS a milestone – the number 18 represents “life” (the numerical value of the Hebrew letters which spell CHAI – life -), so we consider any multiples of 18 to be lucky numbers – so your 36 is double-chai ……
Happy Birthday you youngster!
Birthday wishes, old man.
a dollar short and a day late. what else is new?
No shit, but you’re ahead of my old man, at least.
