Saturday Haiku: Its a (Persian) New Year!

Winter is over.
Makes sense to START a year now.
Norouz Mobarak!

Haft-Sin from last year at khaleh Dina Joon's house.


White House Haft-Sin. I don't think Obama put one up this year. Perhaps because he doesn't want to give ammo to those who want to brand him a Moslem. (Even though Norouz is a completely secular Persian tradition that predates Islam-- and the crazies think Hawaii is too foreign!)

  1. It does make much more sense to have the new year start now...it always feels like my new year starts on my birthday anyway...Nourouz Mobarak!
