Xin Nian Kuai Le! (Happy New Year!)

This year, Lunar New Year is on February 1. It is Year 4700 by the Chinese calendar and it’ll be the year of the sheep (goat, ram). If your age is a multiple of 12 on this year, then you’re a sheep, like me! Other notable sheeps are: Bill Gates, Gene Hackman, Mikhail Gorbachev, Leonard Nimoy, John Major, and George Harrison.
