. Happy Nif Year

Today is the first day of 'Year of the Tiger', the third sign in the Chinese Zodiac cycle. It is also the sign of my birth year. Hooray! I have another 24 years to wait for my particular Wood cycle, but I still have high expectations. Tigers are able to ward off the three main disasters of a household: fire, thieves and ghosts. And this will come in handy, because there is a ghost in the graduate studios in Tiburon.

Fear me and my awesome earthly branch symbol: 寅.
Happy New Year!
