Farewell, 2009
It's been a heck of a year to end a heck of a decade -- probably the most action-packed decade of the five-plus we've lived through. And much of the action was not uplifting. Fortunately at our house, it was the decade in which we became parents, and so there's been more than enough light to illuminate what for much of the world has been a dark time.
Here's to a perfect '10, and the will, human and divine, to make it so.

Here's to the next decade. May she be a damn sight better than the last one!

Happy New Year, Jack. Thanks for giving us a forum to express our ideas and learn a bunch of stuff in the process.

End of the decade? Not really. It technically ends in exactly one year.
Still no reason not to wish you a Happy New Year!
Keep the conversation flowing in 2010, Jack!

I was waiting for this. The six nerds who think this way can celebrate next year. For the rest of us, every minute ends another decade, and we're marking the one that ends at midnight tonight.

And a blessed New Years to you and yours Jack. Ditto on the parental breakthrough. In our household we welcomed young ladies in 2000, 2002 and 2005. There is no greater blessing. Here's to all for a wonderful New Year and an outstanding next decade (or an unbelievevable eleven years for the left brained among us).
