And so begins the year of the rat (earth). Already passed over in Hong Kong, but since we're a day behind, I can say "good luck and prosperity" now. I have to admit that I didn't clean as much as I should, and I didn't leave the windows and doors open to let the good luck in. But I didn't sweep today, and haven't bought shoes or pants in awhile. Here's to a rat-a-rific year.
