Let's make this birthday one to remember.

82 years old (Born on December 26, 1942)

Happy birthday to Jonathan Barnes—scholar extraordinaire, Aristotle whisperer, and undisputed champion of ancient philosophical nuance! Your iconic outings like "Posterior Analytics," the illuminating "Cambridge Companion to Aristotle," and our caffeinated favorite "Coffee with Aristotle" have provided insights sharper than Socrates' wit (and probably more energizing than Plato’s philosophical strolls).

From Oxford's venerable halls to Geneva's serene shores and Paris-Sorbonne's storied lecture rooms, your teachings elevated ancient philosophy from dusty manuscripts to sparkling conversations. Just remember—another birthday simply means your wisdom has reached a more posterior analytic state! Wishing you laughter, endless caffeine, fewer syllogistic headaches, and timeless Aristotelian intrigue!
