Monty’s Afterword

Ok, not so… we will be concluding the year of the Pig and starting the year of the Rat come February 7th. The year of the Tiger starts in 2010, but I felt that 2007 Pig was upstaged by a very well known Siberian tiger named Tatiana. Tatiana’s story reminded me that despite all the wonderful advancements we humans have made, we all still need some guidance from time to time. So, I wanted to pass on some wisdom for 2008– some food for thought, one might say.

Mark’s 2008 Proverbs

1. Never provoke a 350-pound tiger, no matter how much fun it might seem.

2. Don’t become a pack rat! Clean out your closets and recycle your belongings at Freecycle.org–you’ll save your landfill and you really only need half of what you think you need.

3. Clear your mind– either by meditation, prayer or some other method. Try to find some peace and quiet.

That’s it. If you follow my wisdom for 2008 you’re pretty much going to have a great year. I’m very confident of that. Leave a comment if you have any wisdom you’d like to share.
