    Wishing you a very happy birthday, Sam!!! It's not about age, it's about how old you feel!
    When i started to read your blog quite some time ago, I was pretty surprised when I found out your real age - because your pictures and writing style left a much younger impression, in the most positive way :)

    This is what comes from arriving late to a party. I knew your birthday was coming up but I didn't know that it was *that* birthday. Frankly, my dear, I'm gobsmacked. I had lowballed your age by a good 15 years. So fine chocolates and jams really do keep us young and beautiful! :)

    Happy birthday, Sam. Celebrate well and richly.

    Happy happy birthday! Although, I must ask, if your 40th b-day is today, which also happens to be 6/6/06, are you going to morph into the devil?

    Have a devilishly good day.

    40 is the new 30 and you make 40 look like the new 25 so don't fret. Just think- you look like a young woman but have the palate and knowledge of someone more experienced which is an intoxicating combination to most people! Happy Birthday!!!

    Welcome to 40, Sam! I've got six months on you so I'm something of an expert now, and I can say in all honesty that it doesn't suck. Enjoy the rest of your trip to NYC, and apologies again for missing your get-together!

    Happy Birthday Sam. You've been in New York at the exact same time my son is visiting on the way to a three month job in the Catskills. His emails home have all been about clubbing and music, despite my food recommendations.
