This has been an eventful week.
A whole lot of celebrating.
Sunday was both Valentines Day, and Chinese New Years.
I remember Chinese New Year days from my childhood in the Philippines as non-stop firecracker noise festival. I still shudder and startle at the memory.
And then we had Fat Tuesday or Mardi Gras yesterday and today, in stark contrast is Ash Wednesday.
So today I post in honor of the Year of the Tiger.
Next, Valentines, and a love story that I illustrated, followed by Lent, my favorite time of year.
And I will explain why.
