I would like to extend a very special Happy Birthday wish to
Master Shao Yung of the Northern Sung era.
Today Master Shao turns 996 years old by western reckoning.
Master Shao has been the only one who I have considered to
be my master. I have learned more from him than from
any other person in any realm.
I truly owe this superior man the greatest gratitude.
He is forever in my heart and soul.

Hi Andy,
I know how special he is to you, so I would like to extend my best wishes to Master Shao Yung on his 996 Birthday! Wow!
Hope you'll enjoy a glass of wine together tonight :-)

Hi Michelle -
I usually drink raw carrot juice while he drinks his wine :-) You see, I never drink...not even occasionally because I very much dislike the taste of alcohol. So tonight it will have to be a glass of carrot juice and a glass of wine.
Here's a story you may enjoy that just happened about an hour and a half ago. It is absolutely true and absolutely beautiful. I was driving to the health food store to do some shopping and I was completely pre-occupied with thoughts of Shao Yung to the point of a dreamlike meditation. I know its not a good thing to do while driving but I did. All of a sudden out of the blue I heard a series of short beeps in my car. It came from the dash and there was no logical reason for those beeps to occur. As I stopped for the red light I said in a regular tone of voice "Is that you". I swear to you Michelle, I looked up and the truck ahead of me had a sign with five big numbers on it. The numbers were 1-2-1-1-2. That is Shao Yung's EXACT birthdate. The chances of that happening in a logical sense is astronomical. But that is exactly what happened. Absolutely Beautiful !
Very Best Wishes
Andy
