I completely missed a birthday yesterday: Josh Trudell, a designer at The San Antonio Express-News. Josh turned 34 on Thursday.

Before he moved to sunny San Antonio,  Josh worked at The Telegraph in Nashua, N.H. for five years. Josh is a 1997 graduate of Boston’s Northeastern University.

A few samples of Josh’s work:

Josh shares a birthday with journalist Carl Bernstein, actor Florence Henderson, magician Teller (born Raymond Joseph Teller, but legally shortened his name; Wikipedia claims he holds one of the few U.S. passports issued with only one name); former labor leader Jimmy Hoffa; former Ohio State football coach Woody Hayes; former Patriots quarterback Drew Bledsoe and former baseball announcer Mel Allen.

Thursday was Valentine’s Day, but you already knew that. It was also Ferris Wheel Day. Seriously.

I hope you had a great birthday, Josh. Sorry I missed it this year! Best wishes!
