My Birthday

By far the best gift I got for my birthday. This card from
one of my 3rd grade students. Thank you very much, Alice.
It means a lot to me.

Great was my surprise to notice this glider hanging above
the reception area of the new gym in Kaohsiung. I just knew
I had to join.

I got a 2h20 minute flight and a scarf (which I wore)

Then I met a friendly couple from Kaohsiung (I live in Kaohsiung, remember),

Sorry Lin, you are not in the picture...maybe next time.
They drove my car down from launch, which saved me a lot of trouble.
Thank you very much, Lin.
