Just so you know

I turned 43 today.  Not that this matters to anybody except the six or seven readers who’ve asked me for what seems like years now, “when are you going to turn 43 already?”

  1. Congratulations on entering your 44th year, show it who’s boss.

  3. Happy birthday, Michael. 

    Those of us born 13 months later salute you. 

    Keep on kicking ass and taking names.

  6. Happy Birthday Michael! Gordie had about another decade of play when he turned 43.

  9. Happy birthday!  Welcome to 43 (I hit it myself last weekend).  So, is the Daily Show’s America book (nothing better than naked pix of the Supreme Court, p.99) and the re-release of the Clash’s London Calling among your birthday wishes too?  And, of course, at least there’s the one additional wish this (election) year just before the blowing out of candles, right alongside the usual not-so-secret one about one’s kids’ future (though these wishes fold together neatly) ...

  10. Hey, Greg, thanks for asking-- but we already have the Daily Show’s America book!  We dip into it at random moments throughout the day while we’re watching Jamie—who’s handling pneumonia like the incredible trooper he is, and who keeps asking us, “what’s so funny?” when we fall over in helpless laughter.  But you’re on to my biggest wish—a sane election result and a slightly saner country.  Also, if all the violent religious fanatics on the planet would move to Antarctica and kill each other there, that would be OK.

    Thanks to everyone for the bday wishes.  43 sounds cooler than 42, anyway, or maybe I just have a weird thing about prime numbers.

  11. Hi Michael,

    Happy birthday!

  12. Well, I hate to hear a grown man cry...or beg!  At the same time, I admire the man who can bear his chest to the world and declare, “It’s me, and I’m 43.  I’m a poet and damn sure know it.” Many happy returns and a belated happy birthday to your fine young son, Jamie!

  13. Don’t let him fool you, folks, this is the fifth or sixth time he’s turned 43! wink Oh the things academics reveal at free liquor conference parties.

    Seriously, though, Happy B-day!!

  15. I’m doing number 44 today.  Prostate, watch out!

  16. Happy Birthday.  You’re a good looking 43.  Hey, just how old is that photo anyway?

  17. That photo was taken way back when I was 42-- this past June, in Paris.  Those were the days!
