The Year of the Dragon is here! This is particularly important to The Bearded One and me as we were born in the Year of the Dragon, in fact, we were born in the Year of the Golden Dragon. Now, The Year of the Golden Dragon comes only once every 60 years and we have lived through two of these cycles—you do the math. All Lunar New Year celebrations are absolutely wonderful. The color and flowing motion of the dancers and the Taiko drumming makes my heart beat faster and I become one with the event.
“What
