45.

I’m turning 45 today, as is my wife, and I have a lot to say about the ordeal, but mostly I’m amazed at how much you still don’t know even four decades in. As I said elsewhere: you know enough to know what kind of jerk you are, but not enough to stop being it.

If you’d like to help us celebrate, do feel free to donate $45 to one of our favorite causes:

• Kate Bornstein’s cancer recovery fund
• National Center for Trans Equality
• Fair Wisconsin’s Education Fund
• or the Elephant Sanctuary in Tennessee.

So have at it. And do listen to some Stevie Wonder, because it’s his birthday too.
