Topsy-Turvy Down Under
Kia ora and greetings from the future. I’ve crossed the international dateline this week on a visit to New Zealand and I still can’t quite get my head around the fact that it’s one day for me and the day before for everyone back home in the U.S. One thing keeping me off-kilter may...

Happy New Year of the Dragon
Gung hay fat choy, people. Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, celebrated by a number of Asian cultures. And recently, since everybody likes a good party, I’ve noticed it’s been creeping into the mainstream. I am all for this. The holiday usually falls at the end of January/beginning of February...
