2009 is in the rear view mirror

In 2006, we just knew 2007 would be better. In 2007 we said 2008 would be better. In 2008 we figured 2009 couldn't be worse.

Now it's a new decade. I must admit relief when flipping the calendar, that's for sure. But I'm not holding my breath for a better, can't be worse than last year, gotta be great year. I'm holding on for the ride in wait and see mode. I'm hopeful that 2010 is good.

But I'm unwilling to, as one of my favorite crooners says: "I spent the best years of my life waiting for the best years of my life."

So here we go 2010. Hand in hand. Let's see what we can turn up together.
