Happy Lunar New Year 2023!
Greetings! Today is Chinese New Year (aka Lunar New Year). Being Chinese-American myself, I'm celebrating the new year with my family with good food and good company.

4th of July 2022
Source: WHNT Today's Independence Day in the US, which means a day of barbecue and fireworks for Americans. For me, it's a day off from work (thank goodness!).
