Year of the Horse
HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR!
This story has been on my blog before, so stop me if you
heard it. A few years ago we read
an ad that a certain Chinese restaurant near Wodstock, Ga, would be celebrating Chinese New
Years and the ad read, "COME CELEBRATE WITH US!" It was illustrated. with fire crackers
popping into, Champaign flowing out of
the bottle, confetti, in general a big happy party. More importantly, they said two could dine
for the price of one.
We went. I was having
hopes of watching a community of people singing their hearts out, crying,
laughing, dancing, firecrackers popping at our feed, paper ribbons, maybe line dance being part of a paper Chinese dragon, and the fun
just wouldn't stop.
That wasn't the way the evening unfolded. We were the only two customers in the
restaurant. The only people we saw was
the waitress, and her child who would peek at us through a door to the kitchen
that was partially opened.
However, I read in
the paper that about a week later they
did have some bang bangs! It wasn't
firecrackers, it was a shoot out of a drug deal that went bad.
