Happy Birthday, Billy! I hope it’s an extra-long one. I like long birthdays, too! I always get a long one because my brother forgets and then sends me a present late. That’s okay with me!

Hi Billy,
Happy 56th birthday.. well, in a few days,that is! I was 56 once a long time ago and, let me tell you, it is a very, very good year. Have fun! Hey.. you know who else was born on Jan 28th? My older daughter, Sarah, that’s who. Actually she’s my step-daughter but I don’t give a hoot about that because I love her for just being her. I learned that from you. Sarah is an artist just like your brother Tom. To tell you the truth, I think every member of your family is an artist, especially your Mom. Happy Birthday, Billy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Happy Birthday, “old” friend Billy. I enjoy reading your blog. One of the best things I like about you is that you don’t limit yourself to just one day of celebrating your special day. That’s good! The more fun times, the better!
January 26th, 2012 at 11:42 am
Billy, I hope your birthday is wonderful and your celebration lasts a long time! I’m going to make a January 28 cocktail in your honor on Saturday. Also, I’m going to a big party on Saturday. Maybe I can pretend it’s a party for you…a party of people who wish they could meet you! Happy Birthday!

From one old, old man to another soon to be old, old man, I hope you have the happiest birthday ever. Thanks for all the interesting information about famous people who were also born on January the 28th. Billy, you are also famous, or have you forgotten about Billy the Pool Shark?

Billy, I hope you have a very-very happy and special birthday with lots of presents, surprises, good food and family and friends by your side!

Well Billy I can help you spread your birthday out a little by saying “happy birthday” for tomorrow, because it is already 27th January here in Australia. Imagine sharing you birthday with Alan Alda – one of my favourite actors too (and I still love re-runs of M*A*S*H*). Congratulations on being 56 – a very fine age to be. Have a wonderful day tomorrow and I’ll make that cocktail and raise a glass to you.

Happy Birthday, Billy. I am so glad you were born. You have helped Tom so much. He talks about you all the time, and he loves you so much. You have taught him so many things that he uses every day. He knows he is lucky to have you for a brother. I hope you have a great day and that the celebrations continue for a whole month. Tomorrow I am going to make one of those birthday cocktails and salute your birthday.

Hello Billy,
We do not know each other, but I just read your delightful birthday blog, and want to join your many friends to wish you a GREAT birthday today. What good pictures on your blog here. Your smile is like sunshine. So keep grinning.
Being over 55 you are now a senior citizen, and you can get discounts at many places (like restaurants and movie theaters)! Enjoy every minute of your special day.
God bless you,
Sandra

Belated Happy Birthday, Billy!
I think I will try that cocktail recipe! Sounds good!
I loved MASH, too. You and I are the same age but I will be 57 this year in the summer.

Dear Billy ~ you have been 56 for almost 4 months now. How does it feel to be 56? I was born in the year 1946 on January 27, so I became 66 just one day before you became 56. You are a young man compared to me, an “old” lady! I like knowing you are such a happy guy who loves everybody. You know that is the reason everyone enjoys being around you >>>> you enjoy life and smiling and that is what this world needs now. Give your mother a big hug and ask her to hug you back for me. God bless you always. Love ~ Susan and HAVE A HAPPY HAPPY DAY !!!
May 21st, 2012 at 1:21 pm
Susan, you are still a youngster in my book! Thanks for your positive comments; we will spread the hugs around!
God bless you too.
