Happy and safe birthday, Boston. (Stéfan Le Dû/Flickr)

Hi, Hubbubers, sorry about how quiet things are here. I’m up to my eyeballs in work to prepare for a very special project next week — which I’ll tell you more about later today.

Meantime, I want to wish our fair city a happy birthday. @NotifyBoston tweets:

Happy Birthday Boston! Governor John Winthrop founded the City of Boston on this day, Sept. 17, 1630.

Next time you complain about the roads, the public transit or the weather, ask yourself how you would feel at that age.

What’s your birthday wish for Boston?
