Let's make this birthday one to remember.

83 years old (Born on August 06, 1941)

Happy Birthday, Rob Penny! Another year of "Boppin' with the Ancestors," and you're still making us groove to your poetic rhythms. Your words continue to inspire laughter, reflection—and occasionally some questionable dance moves at poetry readings.

From captivating audiences in "Blue Yonder" to reminding us all about our roots through powerful storytelling—your creativity never ages (even if we do!). May this birthday bring you as much joy as you've given readers everywhere; keep writing those timeless lines that make ancestors proud and friends chuckle uncontrollably. Here's hoping your next act is even more legendary than the last one!
