Dragons, Rats and Critters

This is the start of the chinese New Year.  It is the year of the horse.

It got me to wondering under what sign you Grasshoppers were born according to the chinese calendar.  Two of you are rats, one is an ox, a rabbit and a snake.  Grasshoppers No.1 and No.4 are the rats.  No.2 is an ox, No.3 is a rabbit and of course, No.5 is a snake.  You are going to have to “Google” the chinese description of each of the animals on your own.

Your Mom and I are both dragons which makes sense since we were both born in the same year.  According to the chinese, our marriage compatibility has an 80% chance of success.  A dragon is a strong personality, stubborn, perseveres and is competitive.  Does that describe me.  A dragon needs to be given his (or her) space.

So we are a family of dragons, and rats, and oxen, and rabbits and snakes.  Oh, my!

Sunday morning I’m having my private jet fly me to New York for the Super Bowl.  I purchased tickets on the 50 yard line for $10,000 each.  There will be four of us.  I understand a 20 ounce Bud Lite will sell for $14 a bottle.  God knows what a hot dog costs?  Nothing is too good for my friends.  We will fly back home after the game.  It is sad that the Super Bowl is becoming the folly for the very rich.

I purchased a gizmo with a red tank and lots of gauges.  It is called a compressed air system.  I should have bought one years ago to inflate tires, basketballs, footballs and other things.  My snowblower had flat tires and it caused me to make the purchase.  The gizmo looks intimidating but it  is really very simple.  It might explode but it is simple.  Now I can inflate things, operate air tools (which I do all the time) and spray paint my house.  I feel like Tim the Toolman.  Oh, oh, oh.

Denver wins!

Love,

Dad
