Thirty-Five
Today is my birthday. I’m 35 years old.
It feels like just yesterday that I turned 30. Now my thirties are half over. It doesn’t feel quite as bad to write that as I thought it would. I’m 35 today, but I’ve had 35 years to prepare for it.
The only downside is that nobody cares anymore what TV shows I watch, what websites I look at, what products I buy. From now on I’m invisible to advertisers.
Er, maybe that’s a good thing.
Anyway, I share a birthday with Louis Pasteur, Marlene Dietrich, Tovah Feldshuh, Gérard Depardieu, Cokie Roberts, and Sarah Vowell, and I was born on the exact same day as Wilson Cruz.
So happy birthday to all of us!

Happy bday.
35 was when my metabolism began to head south. Hope you don’t experience the same fate.
Maybe you and Sarah can get together for a drink tonight, and she can regale you with more tales of the Puritans.
Happy Birthday Tin Man! Wow, you and Wilson Cruz were born on the same day. That is very cool. I loved him in Life Goes On.
Happy Birthday. Hope you were spoiled rotten. May the next 12 months be fabulous for you.
Happy Birthday, Tin Man! Alas, being invisible to advertisers only means they’ll shoot their stuff right through you, from now on.
Anyways, live long and prosper!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!
Though I only know you through this blog I am sure you are the type of guy who would be great fun to buy a birthday drink for and chat. If I was there, and you were free that is what I would do.
Hope you had a splendid day and wishing you a great year.
Happy birthday, Tin Man! Wish you a spectacultar year!
And Johannes Kepler! You left out Kepler!
Happy, happy birthday, Jeff.
Happy birthday Jeff! 35 is the new 34!
Happy Birthday! And I’m sure by now you’re relieved to have discovered that, contrary to some “informed” sources, your naughty bits do NOT detach themselves from your body upon reaching the age of 35. Now blow out the candles and want something.
Happy Birthday!
(PS – I <3 Tovah Feldshuh)
