Theologian and friend Sheamus J MacLean came by to discuss dragons in hagiography on the weekend at our family farm dinner.

Happy New Year! The Year of the Dragon has arrived. If your birthday is between now and Feb. 10, 2013 and your age this year is divisible by 12 (e.g. 12,24,36.48,60...) then you are a Dragon and, as a kid in my son's old after-school program used to say, "Dragons are better."

Alas, I'm a Snake, so another year to go.
