A TEXT POST

40 is the New 39

Happy birthday to me, happy birthday to me, happy birthday, dear Sheldon Alex!

I tried to find a baby birthday photo of myself to post, but my family failed to document my early life, thus plunging me into a lifelong depression of bottomless despair I must have misplaced that photo album. Below is the only birthday-related photo I could find—judging by the paucity of lumens, historians agree that this pic was likely taken in 1977, during the Great Candle Depression.
