Most Americans have heard of Tet, the Vietnamese New Year celebration. If you asked a Yank what "Ramadan" is, a few would know that it's a month-long Muslim holiday. It would be nice if we could learn about Hindu or Buddhist holidays. Could we invade India or Tibet next?

Here's a haiku for Melinda:

Tile and porcelain
Shake the dew from the lily
You are lighter now
