P. .s I remember you ever so slightly from the cafe on Grape St. in San Diego-who’d have ever thought. I’m so glad for your sucess.

JJ GB - The cafe on Grape St. is where I first saw Whoopi perform! Right then and there I knew she would be a world-wide phenomenon!

I was at a meeting nearby and went with some friends to get something to eat-didn’t know Whoopi or anything about her. Friends told me later she worked there and they had pointed her out to me but I didn’t remember much about it at the time-only later did it all make sense and did I realize who she was and is. I lived in San Diego a long time, but never had the pleasure of seeing her perform in person. The cafe moved to a different location years later.

Happy Birthday, Whoopi!! I hope your day is great! As Joe Namath would say: you are still early in the 3rd quarter — plenty of time to go!

Jean Paul Richter Our birthdays are feathers in the broad wing of time. Oprah Winfrey The more you praise and celebrate your life, the more there is in life to celebrate. Guatemalan Proverb Everyone is the age of their heart. Thomas B. Aldrich To keep the heart unwrinkled, to be hopeful, kindly, cheerful, reverent that is to triumph over old age. Bob Dylan He not busy being born is busy dying. Menachem Mendel Schneerson Because time itself is like a spiral, something special happens on your birthday each year: The same energy that God invested in you at birth is present once again. Have a wonderful birthday Whop! To paraphrase, I hope don’t feel fifty, more like eighteen with thirty three years experience! Happy Day!

Gosh, I thought I was a young grandma, but you, Whoopi, are really young enough to enjoy your grandkids in a totally participatory way! I envy you that. Happy birthday, Ms Goldberg. You are one of the ultimate women and a role model for so many. Wishing you many more happy birthdays — R.

Last week Whoopi I posted a video clip on my blog http://midlifesatrip.com to celebrate Barack Obama’s election. It’s one of my favorite celebration songs — “Oh Happy Day” with you leading the choir in Sister Act 2. So it seems only appropriate to wish you a rocking and rolling Oh Happy Day on this special occasion along with many more days of laughter, good health, progress and peace. Happy Birthday, Whoopi! — Karen Batchelor
