It's the Year of the Dragon this year, and my local supermarket (Sieu Thi BIG 8 Supermarket) gave out these calendars to its customers. My son lusted after it, but it's mine, Preciousss. So I got him something else almost demented from one of the bazaar stalls in the same plaza as the Big 8.<br /><br /><center><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lblanchard/6750150683/" title="friendlydragon2 by lblanchard, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7010/6750150683_4d76772669.jpg" width="492" height="500" alt="friendlydragon2"></a></center><br /><br />Since it's a holiday, in a manner of speaking, I did the bare minimum of mission-critical deadline work this morning and knocked off around noon to make chocolate snickerdoodles for Roy. In a little bit, I'll knock off for the day, go have something to eat, and then head over to the Horticultural Society to photograph some orchids at the request of the librarian, who is hosting a pre-Flower Show orchid exhibition. <br /><br />I'm also going to get a quick training session on the HortSoc's blogging platform so that I can join the merry band of unpaid contributors. I must say I'm really looking forward to it.<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=lblanchard&ditemid=733393" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments
