Happy Birthday, Frederick!

I like Google's doodle today.

Larry J કહ્યું...

Celebrate my oldest brother's 17th birthday.

અજ્ઞાત કહ્યું...

I had sisters born on this day in 1948 and 1952. What are the odds?


Sadly, both are no longer with us.

Chuck કહ્યું...

I am celebrating my birthday today, Professor Althouse!

Big Mike કહ્યું...

Too late to sleep in. [sigh]

Ann Althouse કહ્યું...

"I am celebrating my birthday today, Professor Althouse!"

So you have even more reason than most people have for the absurd belief that the birthdays of adults are cared about.

Meade કહ્યું...

I'll be nice. Happy Birthday, Chuck.
I have an old friend born 60 years ago today. His friends are celebrating his 15th birthday. Happy Birthday, Ted!

Ann Althouse કહ્યું...

"I'll be nice. Happy Birthday, Chuck. I have an old friend born 60 years ago today. His friends are celebrating his 15th birthday. Happy Birthday, Ted!"

Says the man who does absolutely nothing in observation of my birthday.

Meade કહ્યું...

What a lie!

Meade કહ્યું...

I celebrate your birthday every day.

Meade કહ્યું...

Even as I ignore Rush Limbaugh's.

Ann Althouse કહ્યું...

"What a lie!" = He says "Happy birthday." That's it!

MadisonMan કહ્યું...

He says "Happy birthday." That's it!

...and that is more than "absolutely nothing".

dbp કહ્યું...

I will be celebrating my 6th quadrennial today. On this day in 1992, my wife and I were married in Pullman, WA. We were students at WSU.

JSD કહ્યું...

For people who live off billable hours, it’s an extra day of revenue.

Original Mike કહ્યું...

My wife and I don't celebrate our birthdays either. Seems pointless.

Original Mike કહ્યું...

I am going to steal Meade's "I celebrate your birthday everyday!" line, though.

David કહ્યું...

Have a baby. Less birthday parties to give.

rhhardin કહ્યું...

Women are allowed to propose to men on the 29th of February in Ireland, if Leap Year (2010) is to be believed.

rhhardin કહ્યું...

–each luckiest of lucky days

i’ve loved, shall love, do love you, was

Levi Starks કહ્યું...

Well, the weather was nice, so instead of leaping I went outside and started my day with a 6 mile run. It felt great.

Ann Althouse કહ્યું...

"...and that is more than "absolutely nothing"."

It depends on what the meaning of "do" is.

Big Mike કહ્યું...

Effing lawyers!

Michael in ArchDen કહ્યું...

More than absolutely nothing is a high standard! ;-)

Nonapod કહ્યું...

Remember, nothing that happens on Leap Day counts. Real life is for March.

Chuck કહ્યું...

Professor Althouse; I had always thought that my ambivalence about birthdays (which I apparently share with you) was due to my having been cursed to be born on February 29. But there are others, I see.

I am actually glad to try to avoid 300% of the "Happy Birthday" serenading that others must endure.

When I was about 13, and counting the days to my 16th birthday to drive a motor vehicle, I thought about proposing to my mom and dad that we just skip all the non-birthday years. And on the Big Day, I'd get a Honda instead. Didn't work. I got four dinners out, four books, and four pairs of pajamas.

I leapt, but my knee really isn't up to it.
