Let's make this birthday one to remember.

83 years old (Born on January 09, 1942)

Happy Birthday, John! Another year older, but surely you must have discovered the secret to eternal youth—either that or you're solving mysteries faster than Cliff Janeway can shelve books. From crafting gripping detective adventures in Denver’s dusty bookstores to diving deep into radio history, your imagination and investigative charm remain timeless classics.

We just hope this year's plot twist includes plenty of cake and celebration rather than a sudden onset of writer’s block or lost manuscripts hidden beneath suspiciously creaky floorboards. Here's wishing your special day is no mystery at all—may every clue lead straight to laughter and good company!
