   I’d say more like from lack of solid food for one week! And as for the truck, I think I got one of the digits still stuck in between a tooth

   Happy birthday! Although you do look like someone ate your cake. Is 35 that bad :lol:?

   This is what 6 months of excruciating back pain coupled with major back surgery can do to you. So my advice - take care of your back!!!

   You are such a pretty boy. I hope your back is feeling better. You will have to find a cafe with more comfortable chairs, akh!. Insha’Allah I’ll be around in June to check it out.

    I look forward to you coming back out. It’ll be fun and yes, I’ll work on getting some more comfy chairs at the cafe.

    Baraka - thanks you. Salaams.

    I really like the idea of taking your picture each birthday. Happy Birthday and it’s too bad to see one come and go so quickly.

    yeah, Marc, people will start thinking you’re a ‘pretty boy’ - I’m 31, and can’t convince most people I work with that I’m really that age…. but I do hope your back recovers well.

    Peace, bro

    Will - thanks. I don’t know where the idea struck me but thought it’d be interesting to see the changes from year to year - not only in aging but other variables. I hope you and Krista are well.

    Dawud - thanks. Age is a number although this year with the back issue, it’s felt more like a weight than just an abstract number. And as for pretty, I have to say, that’s the first time anyone’s used pretty and me in the same sentence!! Thanks, Musa!

    Salaams,

    Only three or five? I had those when I was 25!! I stopped counting a long time ago. They’re in my beard, mustache. But the wheels are still on and I’ll scrap till they fall off!!

    Salaams,
