Year of the Ox!

The Chinese New Year rolled around a few days ago. Year of the Ox! What's that mean for us? Not really sure...

But what did happen is that we had a good friend over for dinner, gotten to the final stages of our newsletter, and announced some workshop dates.

First off, our good friend and photographer out of Tampa/St. Pete, FL Margie Schulz was in town for a conference. I had asked what it was about but promptly lost interest when she said the magic word "financial". Sorry Margie, we love you, but numbers are not my friend. Since it was the Chinese New Year, we took her to a little dive in Chinatown. Here is a group shot from Margie's camera.



So what is the Year of the Ox? Here's something plagiarized from the Chinese Culture Center website.

People born in the Year of the Ox are patient, speak little, and inspire confidence in others. They tend, however, to be eccentric, and bigoted, and they anger easily. They have fierce tempers and although they speak little, when they do they are quite eloquent. Ox people are mentally and physically alert. Generally easy-going, they can be remarkably stubborn, and they hate to fail or be opposed. They are most compatible with Snake, Rooster, and Rat people.

Anything significant for us? No clue. I'm not really the philosophical kind, while Mike and Cody might be able to come up with something, it's not something we will go into.

What we will go into is the newsletter that is about to launch. Fill with..."stuff".



The newsletter will contain tidbits on how we use wireless flash, along with random tidbits of tips and tricks. Possibly even some processing info and behind the scene images and/or videos. The content will also have up to date appearances of the TriCoast crew in various conventions, speaking engagements, seminars, workshops, as well as circus acts and county fairs. To sign up for this madness, check out TriCoast StormWatch.
