Let's make this birthday one to remember.

61 years old (Born on June 26, 1963)

Happy Birthday, Michael! Another year wiser and still writing circles around the rest of us. Your words have inspired countless readers, sparked meaningful conversations, and—let's be honest—probably caused a few friendly debates at dinner tables nationwide. From your insightful books to those unforgettable radio shows that kept listeners glued to their seats (and occasionally laughing uncontrollably), you've truly mastered the art of storytelling.

Here's hoping this birthday brings you as much joy as your latest successes—and perhaps fewer typos than my last text message! Keep shining bright; after all these years in the spotlight, you're clearly aging like fine wine...or maybe just really good bourbon? Cheers!
