People born during the Year of the Ox, so they say, are disciplined and hardworking. This week's demonstration of my failure to blog twice weekly indicates that I am not an Ox!
.
But you know who is? Obama! A "Metal Ox," apparently. Sounds like exactly what we need around here.

Anyway, happy Chinese New Year! I know people call it lunar New Year these days, but I just remember my old school gym festooned with color and excitement and big signs using the old term, and it's hard to give it up, somehow.

Besides, I do have a Chinese name, you know - Mei Hua - so hey! I'm bona fide! I can call it Chinese New Year if I want! ;-)
