Happy "Green Wooden Monkey Year" to the Asian Invasion. Or, specifically, Eunice-Adam: xin nian kuai le! Bryan-Susan: se hae bok man e ba da! (wow that was clunky) According to a relative, many disputes and arguments await metal and wood people in 2004, because a green wooden monkey is apparently made of metal and wood, elements that do not go well together without water, which represents wisdom. Hmmmm.

This semester I started volunteering at the elementary school library in our school during my used-to-be-ToK free period - an idea inspired by the trip to the children's section of the HRC that never happened. And, to my delight, I found and read Click Clack Moo, a book recommended by Brian that Jacob seconded some time ago, and would like to third that recommendation. Somehow the book had Jacob, Brian, Kelsey, and DefCom written all over it.

(Eunice, I'm ARRRRRGGGHHHHH!!!!!!!!!-ing on your behalf from across the Pacific)
