Day 26 of 365: Happy Lunar New Year!
We're spending the holiday at with my wife's family. The day included ceremonies to honor the ancestors, lots of food, bowing and exchanging money! (Koreans give a gift called "say-bay" after the juniors bow to the seniors). We're all stuffed and sitting around talking. I did a little googling to find out about the calendar system. Did you know our calendar system was approved by the Pope in 1582? Good reading. The year 2009, is just an arbitrary number. Obviously, since man has been sentient there are thousands more years to add. But, the world has bought into the Roman Catholic calendar, "Gregorian" after Pope Gregory. Whatever! Most people don't think about such things, they just accept whatever they're told and survive. Happy Lunar New Year!
