Let's make this birthday one to remember.

68 years old (Born on June 24, 1957)

Happy Birthday, Kevin Avery! Another year older and wiser—though we suspect you're still treating everything as an afterthought. Your brilliant storytelling in "Everything Is an Afterthought: The Life and Writings of Paul Nelson" continues to inspire readers everywhere (and makes us wonder if procrastination truly is the secret ingredient behind literary genius).

Here's hoping your birthday brings you plenty of laughter, inspiration, and perhaps another groundbreaking biography—or at least a cake big enough to hide all those unfinished manuscripts. Keep writing stories that captivate our hearts; just remember deadlines aren't always optional!

Cheers to many more chapters ahead!
