Tiger Wings

Brought to you by Sifu Ray.

My T’ai Chi instructor Ray complimented someone’s appearance recently, saying that a new adornment had added wings to the tiger. I thought that was a great way to describe adding an excellent feature to an already excellent creature.

Speaking of excellent creatures:

Today around the world: January 8 is the birthday of the King of Rock & Roll, Elvis Aron Presley (www.elvis.com). Long live the King!

It’s also National Takai Day in Niue, a Polynesian island in the South Pacific and one of the world’s largest coral islands. The first part of January is dedicated to Prayer week. Also during that week is the annual “Takai,” meaning “going around.” Each village organizes a mass drive-by, a social event in which villagers drive elaborately decorated vehicles around the island.
