The Year of the Ox

This is the second year in a row that I have carved and hand-stamped Chinese New Year cards and not sent them out. I was particularly proud of the ox carving! This is MY year - I was born in the Year of the Ox. Check out my horoscope and let me know if you think it fits. http://sandbox14.clearconceptsllc.com/ox.aspx

My bro & I spent CNY in a Hawaii Kai sportsbar with his childhood best friend Skip Boock and Skip's wife Marilyn. I will look for a photo of Steve & Skip "way back when."

We stayed away from Chinatown because of the crowds, so the closest we came to observing the celebrations was to kick firecracker detritus around a parking lot the morning after...

Best wishes for a Happy New Year to all!!!
