1. I dislike the date of my birthday
2. I don’t mind the idea that I’ll be another year older
3. I dislike it because too many things have gone wrong on that day in the past.
4. And not just being sick from eating too much trifle.
5. The 3 worst days of my life have been (in separate years) June 3rd.
6. So rather than celebrate, I’m going somewhere quiet and contemplative.
7. Past examples:
8. Kloster Maulbronn
9. Durham
10. I think this time it’ll be a museum and art gallery day.
33. Advancing age can lead to problems with basic numeracy.
You can have mine. It’s really cool. March 7th. Sound good?
Ooh, ooh, AND you can start your new 2005 today! Isn’t that a good thing?
Actually, I’m starting my new 2005 on June 4th - I want to get the third out of the way first - then things really can only get better. Although there have been some positives over the past couple of weeks….
Okay, sorry for lots of congratulations, I just wanted to be sure you would get them…Anyway, I hope you have a good day according to your own way. Can you forgive me? I hope so.
Enjoy your contemplative non-birthday day.
And party like it’s a new year tomorrow. 
33 has more style than 32, I think, if that helps. 32 tends to cling that little too closely to 30, still, which is of course attached to your 20s and youth proper. 33 is a step forward, venturing out into new territory - one year later and it’s ‘mid-30s’. I won’t ask what made this date so bad for you, but I’ll wish you a successful ‘N’ day, if I may, however you choose to spend it.
Enjoy the museum… and I hope this is the start of a good year.
Happy birthday, my sweet. And I don’t care what you say… Rejoice!!!
Welcome to the club of those who can anwer the question “How old are you?” with:

“Gli anni di Cristo” (translate yourself
[Well, in Italy, at least…]
Only halfway to 64? I just hit halfway to 70 and that sounds a lot more depressing. Still, I understand about bad crap happening on your birthday. So drink to excess and blame it on youthful indiscretion.
enjoy your day at the museum. happy birthday N!
Umm…Happy Birthday anyway? Maybe the curse will be broken this year.
Happy New Year.
Happy happy bday! I hope nothing went wrong!
Happy Birthday!!!!!!!! Lots of love and success. Life begins at 33! (ask me, I know all about it, hence I am looking forward to turning 33;)

Happy New Year.
