Happy birthday! I used to be anti-birthday, but a couple of birthdays ago my husband decided that every day would be my birthday until I finally had one that made me happy. There were many dinners and presents and cakes, but of course he won in the end. So now I am pro birthday, because they remind me of the people I love most in the world (I am also 106).
I hope you get to spend your birthday doing a bunch of cool things with a bunch of people you love. But if that doesn’t happen, then you should definitely have a 50th birthday everyday until it does.
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.
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).

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!
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!
Happy Happy Birthday to you
Wishing you a most excellent birthday and welcome to 50.
Happy birthday Wil. I also am a July 29ther as all the best are.
Happy birthday to you and your giant hair!
Happy birthday, sir!
(I hope to see you at STLV, but if not, I totally understand!)
That’s 157,248,000,000,000 seconds to you, pal.
Like my Great Grandma Viola use to say, life doesn’t begin until you hit 1,729,728,000,000,000.

It really is an amazing thing to be surrounded by people who care and want you to heal. I’m glad your life is full of people who love you 🙂
Isn’t it, though? I’m glad you are finding your way, too. 🙂

Happy birthday! I don’t know how I have read this blog for so long and not realized you share a birthday with my son (he’s 10 today).
