It's my birthday on Saturday. 39. 39 is all about 40. So much so that it doesn't even count. It might as well be just skipped to 40. It's a birthday leap year.
A friend texted me yesterday wishing me a happy day. I thanked him, not knowing whether to point out that it is actually Saturday that's earmarked for happiness. I didn't want to embarrass him so I went along with it. He then told me that I share a birthday with Judge Glenda Hatchett. That was the final straw. I texted him back to let him know that the magic was happening on Saturday and to give Glenda my regrets.
I already share a birthday with Jerry "The Beav" Mathers and Marvin Hamlisch. Do I need the misery of adding Judge Glenda Hatchett to that list of oddballs? Give a white man a break! Liza shares a birthday with Valerie Bertinelli. Now THAT is cool. I wish V-Bert and I shared a birthday. I bet that would put Saturday over the top. (I know it would.)

Hey, it's my mom's birthday on Saturday too!
Don't worry...39 was WAY harder than 40. But 45 sucked...especially when my dear hubby bought me a PEZ dispenser for my combo 45th BD and 25th anniversary! He'll be lucky if we make it to 26!
Happy BD, sweetie!

Happy 4-0 Andy baby!!
I love being 40. I decided at 40 to cut all negative people/stuff/energy from my life. It was an amazingly cathartic birthday for me....which I share (day and year) with Don Cheadle. Top that.
Seriously.....enjoy....you are a wonderful person and deserve a memorable birthday.

What the TB guy did was wrong, possibly infecting others on the flight. One question: Did US health officials notify Italian authorities to make sure he did not board a commercia flight and that he seek treatment in Rome? With all the emphasis on our southern border, I guess the Canadian one is just as porous.

So, thanks for informing me I shared my birthday yesterday with Glenda the Good. I capped off my big day by finally starting Andy's book club pick...shame on you! The book kept me riveted until 4:30am, basically destroying any hope of having a productive work day today. It invaded my dreams and forever altered my view of peaches. I feel like an obsessed Tom Ripley.

You also share a birthday with Martha Washington AND Nicki Cox! But, Sniff, Lou Gerrig and Familly Fued's Ray Combs DIED on your day. Richard Dawson lives on.
My birthday budds are Spiro Agnew and Lou Ferrigno - may play on who2.com all afternoon!

Andy, I just turned 45 this year and I just want to beg you to ENJOY 39 (or 40, or 42, or wherever you are) because as those numbers go up, the ones in the rear-view mirror are always, always going to look better! And you'll think, "Damn, I hated being 39, but that was actually pretty damn great and I wish I was 39 NOW!"
So don't waste time thinking about how horrible that arbitrary number is.... enjoy life, feel fabulous, and ignore the numbers. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Well Happy Birthday (on Saturday). As someone who just turned 39 back in Feb., I completely get the whole might-as-well-be-40 vibe.
While I enjoyed the transition from 29 to 30, I'm curious as to how the next change will be. Here's looking forward with anticipation to checking that next box on magazine surveys.

39 was so hard for me that 40 turned out to be a breeze, in comparison-- you're fine, just hold on until we baby boomers revolutionize culture one more time: weren't we the ones who invented youth culture, after all, in the 60s? Now it's time for us to make being old cool, and I do think we're doing it-- at least, I'm doing my best to; if enough of us, a la Vidal Sassoon on the Shear Genius finale-- really, he's definitely a geezer-- if enough of us continue to survive with style, eventually you'll all be wishing you were older, too.

It's my birthday on Saturday too! I am turning 30. Very scared to be entering into the offical grown up decade, but here goes...luckily I am spending it away from LA, where I live. I'm writing you from a gorgeous deck in Idaho, underneath the mountains, next to a lake. Viva le wireless! Happy Birthday to you, and to me too!

Happy b-day Baby! Just remember - you're not actually IN your forties until you turn 41. So you've got at least 2 years left! Kisses from a 38 year old.

Hi Andy, where can we see the top chef reunion show for season one? I missed it a long time ago and do not see it on bravotv.com.
Thanks

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! Shared my birthday with Richard Nixon. Even sent him a birthday card one year while he was still president. My brother had to take it to jr. high to show his teachers, especially the one on whom he had a crush to impress her. He had spit on his finger and rubbed the signature and it smeared unlike the stamped signature on a letter he got from the White House on some issue of the day he had written to the pres about. Either someone hand signed the card for Nixon or he hand signed it and my older brother was convinced it was the latter. My brother is one of the reasons I started reading the newspaper when I was eight because he started reading the newspaper when he was in first grade & drove me nuts wanting to discuss political issues, probably why I still so hate politics. Have a great birthday and don't drink too much. Ha.
