Awwww, shucks. Thank you for your well wishes, everyone 
... even though I'd rather forget all about tracking my progress on life's involuntary conveyor belt of time.

I hope that was a good quiet.
I can't say much about festivities. I'm the one who went to the D-Day museum on my birthday.

Actually, I had to wo*k yesterday ... a *huge* project is underway at my job.
Bleagh.

It's going. We're about 2/3 of the way through this batch. Actually, this has been a difficult project from the beginning. 
It's a series of decals for the bus fleet of Miami Dade County. The designer made a twisted train wreck of random squiggles, interspersed with a gridwork of squares. Had I been able to print it as is, this wouldn't have been much of a problem. However, it doesn't work quite so easily. The multitude of tiny, thin, sharp points needed to be thickened to allow for the decal material to adhere to the bus surface. I mean, little tiny pieces simply won't stick. There isn't enough adhesive surface. Then, additional color needed to be added precisely around the outer blobs to allow for slight misregistrations that might occur during the robotic CAD die-cutting process.
It only took me a week to sort out the mass of tangled lines and shapes on each of the ten pieces that make up these buses. I wanted to strangle the sloppy designer several times!!! 
We'll be printing a couple hundred of this design, then I need to go back and start all over again for the next bus style ... straightening out another train wreck. AUGH!!! 
Peeling away the excess vinyl on these massively long decals takes a lot of muscle too. The adhesive-backed vinyl is thick and tough since it's embedded with tiny glass spheres to make it reflective. I get a real workout!

I'm truly scared by how much of that I understood.
*hands you a big stick to deal with the designer*
