14. I am reminded it’s your birthday almost every year, because I still play the game Spaceward Ho and (I have no idea if you know this) the little hats on settled planets occasionally change on special days, on today they all have a red/yellow/blue stripe, in homage to Wesley Crusher’s season 1 sweater (email me if you want a pic).

    Happy Birthday!

    1. I loved that game on my Mac in the 90s. This makes me very happy.

20. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

21. I was anti-birthday for a long time, too. Not in a “don’t want to think about getting older” way, but in a “I have way too much childhood trauma about birthdays to want to celebrate them” way. But through the wonderful actions of people who actually care about me and also pure chance, I now have two birthdays per year, and they are truly celebrated. Getting older and learning who actually matters in your life is the best.

    1. Isn’t it, though? I’m glad you are finding your way, too. 🙂

23. Happy Birthday, Wil! Welcome to the age of “I don’t give a f**k!

24. I’m a year ahead of you, so I turned 51 on July 13. We made it half a century, dude. How many times did we think we wouldn’t get this far? I know for me, it was a lot. Congratulations. Now let’s make it to the anti-aging breakthroughs that allow us to live another 125 years in like age 25-30 condition. C’mon science! I wanna be a cyberpunk villain!

25. Happy Birthday!!

26. Happy birthday, Wil. And happy birthday today to George Jetson!

27. Happy birthday Wil, I hope the next 2/3 of your life provide you with even more great experiences.

28. I feel bad that I missed wishing you a happy birthday on the very day! I’m old enough to be your mom (71-yikes), and I’d be proud to have a son like you. You make this planet a better one. LLAP, Wil and welcome to the best decades of your life. It’s all golden from here on in!
