Yes, today I turn another year older - 42 actually. Blow out the candles. Get enthusiastically sung to. Open fun gifts from my wife and son. And, in case you aren't quite comprehending what I am getting at: Today is my birthday!
Why am I making such a blatant pronouncement about this? Well, last year my birthday fell on a Friday, and attempting to be a bit clever with my own birthday post, I posted this Haiku Friday entry which was greeted by a resounding cyber silence.
That birthday post from last year continues to be the only post since the early days of this blog that garnered absolutely NO comments. Kinda laughable if you think about it now, but in the days following that post I was a bit melancholy that none of my blogging friends had figured it out and left me a comment.
Mrs. LIAYF just shook her head at me and told me that I needed to more obvious. She was right, as she often is.
So, again, today is my BIRTHDAY! Do as you will.
P.S. The meaning of everything isn't actually 42, as Deep Thought calculates in The Hitchhikers Guide.
No, actually it is this:

Hope you have a wonderful day!
Happy Birthday. Yes, the little ones make every new year worth it.
How tempting is it not to respond to this post. But unfortunately i'm too nice a guy.
happy birthday!
Happy Birthday! Here's to many many many comments!
Happy Birthday! Before having kids I would always wonder what the meaning of life was... now I don't have enough time to think about much of anything.
Happy Birthday!!!
So long, and thanks for all the fish. ;)
Happy Birthday, James.
Happy Birthday!
I have a present for you... You won one of my Sunsweet Pineapple gift packs, but I don't think I have your address.
I heard somewhere it's your birthday. Have a great one.
I'm laughing at last year's attempt.
Haiku is beyond me.
Happy Birthday Sir.

Happy Birthday sir.
I too know the sting a low (or non-existent comment count can bring) on a post you were expecting some.
Happy B-day to you (a couple of days late.)
Happy birthday, Anakin! I mean, James.
See, because your blog is called Luke, I Am Your Father, and Luke's father was...
*sigh* I'm sorry, I'll show myself out...
Happy Birthday! How does life look from the other side of 40? I'm rapidly approaching...
Damn! I missed another party.
Hope it was good. Oh, and trust me--the forties are not all they're cracked up to be.

A belated Happy Birthday, I've been out of town and I guess Western Massachusetts hasn't heard of the internet yet. I hope you had a great one.

@Scifi Dad - Quite a sting it is. Thanks for the wishes.
