Happy New Year to my steamboat friends

Well, if I drank, I'd drink to that. Will a OJ and ice do good enough?

*HAPPY NEW YEAR, Chinese calendar*
Hi, Ed,
Pretty nifty HAPPY NEW YEAR from you on Steamboats.org. This a novel, refreshing change. You have your Chinese New Year dates on the mark along with the auspicious sign of the horse. Gong Xi Fa Cai roughly "Congratulations and be prosperous."

Let's all hope the "eyes of revered ancestors cast favor on greatness this year" on our rivers as we ring temple bells, burn incense.

A good cup of hot tea would be more appropriate! You could have an almond cookie with it too! Mmmmm cookies mmmmm. . . .
