I turned forty today! I feel pretty similar.
I have received many heartfelt, although usually disparaging, birthday wishes ("Did your new cane arrive yet?").
However, the great evangelist for the month-long, my-birthday-should-be-a-national holiday movement has failed to even send a birthday card.
Jana Faust from University of Nebraska Press has always preached this, but maybe she just was referring to her own birthday...
Nothing Jana?

I just talked to you yesterday and you didn't say anything?! The trick is that you have to mention your bday in every conversation, starting about a month beforehand.
It's now on my calendar along with the necessary reminders.
Jana can be a touch unreliable, I thought everyone knew that.
