Happy New Year!

The Chinese year 4705 begins today Feb. 18, 2007.

Chinese New Year is the longest and most important celebration in the
Chinese calendar.

It is the Year of the Pig. "Those born in pig years tend to have
excellent manners, make and keep friends, work very hard, and appreciate
luxury. They are very loving and make loyal partners."

I am a monkey They are very intelligent and able to influence people.
Good politician. Thirsty for knowledge. Talented and inventive,but
easily discouraged. Seek a Dragoon or Rat not a Tiger.

I have a Chinese calender that tells me about all the animals.
