Gung Hay Fat Choy!

Happy Chinese New Year. It's 4706, so don't forget when you're writing your next cheque.



Gratuitous shots of my beautiful children.





Yes, there was a lot of bribery involved in getting these pictures.

    Gung Hay Fat Choy sounds like a dish on the menu...but who'd ask for it. Yes they're gorgeous, so you're allowed that gratuity...:))

    Junior Dumbasses? :))

    Oh just gorgeous.
    I'm wondering what you said in the second photo to get such a response!
    Bribery is always the way to go I find. I got some of my best photos with bribery.

    I can't even remember to write 2009 on checks, how the hell am I supposed to write 4706? Oh yeah, I don't write checks, that's so 2008.

    Love the shots, they are definitely worth the bribery. Happy Chinese New Year!

    新年快樂，船長Dumbass和家庭！

    Many blessings to you in the New Year!

    Ni hao, dude. Great pictures and I like the jackets. Hey, what's Chinese for Dumbass? Inquiring minds want to know. Also, when is the next Year of the Snake?

    (I hope that's right, and that it doesn't say something totally inappropriate!)

    Love the outfits! They look like they're going to break out into elaborate martial arts moves any second.

    Or maybe dance moves.

    My pal and I celebrated the New year yesterday by eating chow mein, general tso's chicken triple delight, and dumplings at my favorite restaurant in the International District. It was awesome.

    I was born in either the Year of the Monkey Or the Year of the Sheep.
