Note the forthcoming Year of the Dragon (and yes I was born in a Year of the Dragon, which I find rather appropriate).
Unfortunately, I did not pick up on "appreciate a dragon day" till a couple of days too late. I am getting a lot of spoiling from Dave at the moment however, so I do feel very appreciated

And you should be appreciated, dear W.D. Dave has great taste.
Today is Chinese New Year, starting the Year of the Dragon, as Welsh Dragon said. We are going out for a big dinner with friends. I hope that you all have a good day.

Today, 15th February is also International Childhood Cancer Day. An appropriate time to remind people that the World Community Grid includes a project fighting childhood cancer. If you're not already participating in WCG, follow the link in my sig to join up (you don't have to join the Ship team if you don't want to).

It's Casimir Pulaski Day in Illinois today, or at least in parts of it. Schools are closed in Chicago but not in our little burb. Chicago has the largest Polish population outside of Warsaw, so Pulaski has his own day here (as well as a big street named after him).
-------------------- Do not be daunted by the enormity of the world’s grief. Do justly, now. Love mercy, now. Walk humbly, now. You are not obligated to complete the work, but neither are you free to abandon it.

That's very cool, Mamacita, I used to sing at a Polish Catholic Church so I know about Casimir. Pittsburgh also has a large contingent of Polish, too.

LORDY, just realized today is a most special day in the annals of SHIP OF FOOLS. This slipped off my radar and birthday list for some reason.
In 1998 Ship of Fools was born as a newspaper. Those of us who have been here for a few years, may remember this.
SIMON, ANCIENT MARINER AND REV. GERALD need to be sent a thank you note.
So, Welease, please add to today. Thanks.

Don't feel sorry for us, Welease, just treat us like the old, well worn chair in the corner full of wisdom and comfort.
I calculate I'm over 13 years and counting on the old boards. I hope one day you will be able to say the same.
and saintly hugs,
