Happy Chinese New Year!

[staropeace]

Many folks are celebrating in the city....especially my friend who married a man from China and has made this celebration a dear event in the lives of her family. Too much eating, too much drinking but lots of fun lol. "A New year, A New Start, A New Chapter, A New Beginning, Forget the bad, Cherish the GOOD, I sincerely wish u a very blessed new year ahead. Happy New Year "

So is it the year of the sheep, the blue sheep, some other specific type of sheep, or the goat (as some Asian countries don’t have sheep)? Good god, I spend way too much time listening to NPR.

OF COURSE IT IS!

There is no goat in the Chinese horoscope (I mean Zodiac)
- I think it is a sheep actually (sorry Dana Jean!)

Maybe it is a goat that feels sheepish.
