Year of the Pig - mile 126

Happy Chinese New Year!!! 2007 is the year of the pig (boar). Whether you are Chinese or not, the Chinese New Year is always fun to celebrate. The food, music, fireworks and dragon dances are always enjoyable and entertaining. However, an additional reason to celebrate is that the worst weather of the winter is behind us. The Chinese calender is a lunar calender and the New Year is a pretty good estimate as to when the temperatures will begin to rise. After the ice storms in New England last week, I am happy to see the new year!
