Let's make this birthday one to remember.

68 years old (Born on April 10, 1957)

Happy birthday, John Milo Ford! May your day be as delightfully witty and timelessly clever as your literary parodies. From the imaginative worlds of "Growing Up Weightless" to the thrilling streets of "The Last Hot Time," you've taken readers on unforgettable journeys filled with humor, insight, and poetic brilliance.

Your mastery in crafting Shakespearean blank verse continues to amaze us all—proving that even centuries-old styles can feel fresh when penned by a mind like yours. Here's hoping this year brings you more inspiration (and fewer writer's blocks), plenty of laughter-filled moments, and perhaps another parody or two for good measure!
