tsuwm, in all his curr-mudgeonly ways, barks:

to everyone who suffered through another birthday this year, always remember: it's not another year older; it's another year of life wasted in a banal dance with the mundane, edging precariously close to the precipice of decay and death.

How 'bout another year of life relished in a whirling-dervish spin with the mystical, stepping provocatively into the fountainhead of renewal and life?

From the opposite side of the fence,

Pheww! Talk about the meaning of meaninglessness. Hey, Joe...I've got a New Year's slogan for you:

Annihilate Nihilism! You wanna t-shirt?

Happy belated Shoshannah and Hyla - You share a birthday with my son-in-law. He partied a little too hardy. Hopefully you didn't. Its too hard to take care of demanding babies with one arm wrapped around the porcelain. (Hope it was fun for you both, none the less.)

Happy birthday, wow. I recall of a poet's remark to a woman quailing before a birthday: "How old is Spring, Miranda?"

A bright Happy Birthday, wow! Hope you're celebrating Mardi Gras style! Actually you can just continue the Patriot's party right into Fat Tueday...three parties all rolled into one! Enjoy, O High Priestess!
A tumult of cheer and laughter!...evidently!

Thank you all for your good wishes. Deeply appreciated.
Love that "How old is Spring, Miranda?"!I intend to use it often.
I do not despair of another birthday. Like the man said - it beats the alternative. Rather I revel in every year and the excuse age gives me to say exactly what's on my mind, to never have to do anything I don't want to do, and especially to not be afraid of being too sentimental or mushy when I tell friends how much they are loved. Like you all. Hugs all around.
AHIP! Age Hath Its Privilege Hurrah!

I hope your day was filled with the pleasures of a thousand carnivals and the joy of good friends to share them with!

Well, I'm always misreading stuff while trying to scan too quickly, but this one I have to share. I read musick's wish as "I hope your day was filled with the pleasures of a thousand camels and the joy of good friends to share them with!" Which perhaps explains the origins of the slang meaning of "hump"....
