Happy Lunar New Year! May health and happiness be yours in the year 4706.

As the Year of the Rat begins a new 12-year cycle of the Chinese zodiac, changes will abound because the prevailing cosmic energies will be focused on cleaning out the old and bringing in the new.

Granny Mak — a family friend who isn’t a fortune teller but “knows things” — predicts that the tides of change brought about by the Year of the Rat will cause much turbulence in both private lives and society in general.

So, with that in mind, everyone take care in the coming year. Consider spending the holiday transferring naughty material from your hard drive to data discs, deleting the files from your computer and marking your newly burned discs “Photos from visit to Colonial Williamsburg”.

When you’re done with that, please accept my Lunar New Year wish for all of you:
