Today is the day that has been the cause of insane traffic everywhere, long lineups for everything, and gifts of Mandarin oranges presented to me constantly. Now, I have to say, I do love these Mandarin oranges. As my family knows, I can't stand them at home. But I think that they must have sent all the ones unsuitable to North America, and saved these juicy, sweet delights for themselves. I have been eating them constantly. Much bigger, juicer, and sweeter than any I have ever consumed in the past.
The year of the dragon is said to bring prosperity and good health to anyone who has a dragon in their home. Maybe some couples might interpret this as the 'wife'. I, on the other hand have bought some little dragons, while I was stranded in Hong Kong, and have been giving them out to my Chinese friends when I see them. Now I guess it is time to hang one in my own in my house, assuring the prosperity and good health promised. And of course as a back up, I could always dress up Gordon in a dragon suit and consider him my token dragon too. I am not sure he would sit still long enough for the fitting, but he is close enough in my mind to look like a mini dragon just as he is.
