Welcome to Steve's Forty

Welcome to Steve’s 40th birthday celebration!

We who know Steve know how he loves lists and what an eclectic list of interests, people, places, and friends he cherishes. To celebrate his 40th birthday, Steve has posted four lists on his own blogs: A Taste of Forty, Forty Reads, Forty Flicks, and The Class of ‘67. As with this celebration, there may be more of those to come.

From all over the world, we have received and posted here a collection of lists as eclectic as Steve’s interests. So, enjoy! And know that Steve is enjoying your gifts even more than all the rest of us! Happy Birthday Steve! Y Feliz Cumpleanos!

The list below comprises an Index for this blog – all the posted lists and all the authors. Click the title of your choice to go to the list you want to read. To return to the Index click on Steve's Forty at the very top of the page.
