Last week I turned 42!! For the last couple years we have had an outdoor movie in our backyard to celebrate the occasion. When I turned "40" a couple years ago we watched City Slickers. Lets face it, there is nothing funnier when you are turning 40 than watching a movie where Billy Crystal is turning 40. Last year, in the midst of the Colorado Rockies making their historic run for the National League Championship, we watched Field of Dreams.
This year we had hoped to start the outdoor movie tradition now that we are in China. Especially with the new LCD projector we were given by our friends at church before we left. However, the typhoon of activity at the school while getting ready to start the new academic year meant our outdoor movie premier will have to be delayed.
As busy as everyone was at the school, Tammy still wanted to do a little something for my birthday. She organized a bunch of refreshments and rented a couple of tables down by the beach. As the sun set, we sat with new friends and co-workers and raised a toast in my honor to another year...this time in another land.

Happy Birthday Steve!
Blessings to you and your family!
happy belated birthday, Steve!
is there really life after 40? from my view here at 38 it just feels like being a few yards from the edge of Niagara Falls... and I see that panicked look on your brother's face as he's slipping over that edge frantically grasping at nothing but watery foam...
:D
Thanks Sherry and Brook.
Yes, Brook. its all down hill. Get everything done you want now, because after 40... nothing works anymore :)
Steve Zhu ni shengri kuai le! Hmm...I hope that's spelled correctly. Perry wants to know what movie you're going to pick....what about the Bucket List?--ha ha... kidding aside, it's a good movie.
You're looking great for 42 except the grey ;-), though it's distinguished.
